What to expect
What to expect from a water resistance test
- A quick check
- A water resistance test is usually a short job, and many shops can run it the same visit.
- Dry and wet tests
- Many shops use a dry air-pressure test that keeps the watch out of water; some also offer a wet test for dive watches.
- After any case opening
- It is worth testing after a battery change, a new crystal or any repair that opens the case.
- Water resistance is not permanent
- Seals age and harden, so a watch that was water resistant when new may not stay that way; regular tests catch this early.
