Watches Designed for Water and Everyday Life

Watches with a water resistance rating of 100 meters or more are a smart choice for active lifestyles. Each pre-owned watch in this selection meets or exceeds a 100m rating, offering confidence for swimming, beach vacations, or simply unexpected splashes. This collection is curated for those who demand both function and finesse.

Why 100m+ Is the Sweet Spot for Water Resistance

A 100-meter water resistance rating is more than sufficient for recreational swimming, light snorkeling, and most day-to-day activities. While not built for scuba diving, these watches feature the robust sealing and crown construction needed to handle water with ease—without compromising design or comfort.
