Water resistance ratings are perhaps the most commonly misunderstood (and sometimes misrepresented) aspects of watches. Watches with water resistance ratings as low as 200m are often called dive watches (although they are really only suitable for diving down to the bottom of a 1.5m pool), and you'll find 0m water resistant watches sold that are barely suitable to get sweaty in. Here's a practical tutorial to watches' depth ratings:

0m water resistant: Suitable for dress purposes only, keep climate controlled

50m water resistant:Suitable for sweaty weather, and will withstand accidental splashing. Not suitable for doing the dishes.

100m water resistant:Suitable for doing the dishes, lap swimming and surface snorkelling

200m water resistant:Suitable for free diving without scuba gear

300m water resistant:A true diver's watch, these are less common and much more expensive.

The standard band sizing for men's watches online is around 18cm. The band length does not include the watch face, so if you want to test how a particular model will match at home before buying the watch online, find out the length of the case.

Remember that if you find a watch design you love, but the band won't match you properly, it is possible to buy many different designs of standalone band.
