You are supposed to keep them out of the shower, jacuzzi and sauna as those temperatures will affect the seals and gaskets due to the high temp.

That is a good question. WHO makes an automatic watch that can handle it all.

So, what about the folks who live hot climates? Are we supposed to keep our watches in a cooler during the summer? cool10.gif

And a watch sitting on the deck of a boat in the sun where surface temps can exceed 115F and then plunged into abyss of 65F water is a shock as well but my other water resistant watches have taken that abuse, like they are designed to. It was only the Rolex that failed.

I don't make it a habit of wearing a watch in a hot tub but water that is only in some cases 20 degrees warmer than Ocean water shouldn't have adverse effects, at least not at a price point of a product that is supposed to be one of the best. Thats my opinion. hand6.gif

Geez,  I wore my sub in the hot tub last week for the first time.  Thankfully no problems to report.  Interesting considering all the talk about the new ceramic bezel insert on some Rolex models on another forum.  Insert and bezel run over $1,000 to replace.
