A watch with a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (atmospheres) is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and showering. According to ISO standard 22810, this level of water resistance signifies that the watch can withstand static pressure equivalent to submersion at a depth of 50 meters.

While a 5 ATM rating offers more protection than a 3 ATM rating, it is important to understand the limitations for swimming. The dynamic forces exerted during swimming, such as the movement of your arms through the water and the impact of diving, can create pressure that exceeds the static test conditions.

Therefore, while your Jowissa watch with a 5 ATM rating can tolerate brief immersion and splashes, we generally advise against wearing it for prolonged swimming or diving activities. Consistent exposure to these conditions may compromise the water-resistant seals and potentially lead to water damage which would not be covered under the warranty.

For regular swimming or more intensive water activities, we recommend considering Jowissa models with a higher water resistance rating, typically 10 ATM or more. These models are specifically designed and tested to withstand greater water pressure and are more suitable for such use. Please refer to the technical specifications of each Jowissa watch on our website for detailed information on their water resistance level.
