Who doesn’t like water? Perhaps, everyone. But some have a strong passion for the water and spend most of their time doing water-based activities like swimming, diving, surfing, and much more. Though while swimming, having a mobile phone by your side seems risky- no matter whether it is waterproof or not. Instead of a smartwatch, one must prefer to wear swimmers watches that would present the accurate time even under water.
Further, these swimming watches don't always have to be smartwatches. Some prefer purchasing automatic or mechanical swim watches as they don’t require frequent charging and don’t cost too much compared to an analog watch.
If you are still with us, we assume you might be looking for an analog watch for your next dive. But before we move further, let’s discuss why an analog watch is an excellent choice among watches for swimmers.
- The Analog case holds water tightly (proving highly secure water-resistant watches) and certainly doesn’t allow it to enter the watch.
- Such watches are pretty affordable and durable when compared to smartwatches.
- They give a classy look and add charm to the personality when worn by a swimmer.
- Analog watches don't require charging as they work on the wearer’s beat; hence they are more stable.
- Unlike smartwatches, analog swimming watches don’t create any distractions. One doesn’t always have to look at the watch while swimming just because of some unnecessary notification.
- Automatic or mechanical watches certainly reflect the craftsmanship of the manufacturer.
- Analog watches are indeed lightweight and have a luminous effect of viewing the time even under watch.
So, now you might be aware of why we are entirely focusing on “analog” watches when talking about the swim watches for open water. We believe it must have increased your curiosity, and you’ll be considering purchasing one or two quartz waterproof watches.
But hold on! Before you scroll through multiple sites searching for your desired waterproof watch for swimming, we want to present a couple of tested-and-proven swimmers watches.
Let’s quickly hop on!
