Six months ago (or so?) there was an extended discussion of Casio "50M"
water resist watches.  Let me recap: 

It *IS* possible to blow the seal on a 50M Casio in less than 50 meters of
water! My wife's watch ruptured in 80' of water at a nearby quarry.  Actually,
the watch didn't die a dramatic death:  some moisture got inside the casing, and
that was enough to render the timepiece non compos mentis within 24 hours.

Opinion was divided regarding whether it was deceptive to call a waterproof
watch designed for "swimming-only" use a 50M watch.   Certainly, my wife and
I were taken in by the name.   We didn't bother to read the fine print in the
handbook (which the earlier poster quoted) until after the watch quit working.

I used to dive with a 100M Casio watch.  The watch still works fine (static
reset problems excepted), but I now dive with a bottom timer and a 200M Casio
instead.
