Water resistant vs. waterproof?

I bought a Timex Ironman 50 lap watch at Target that was supposed to be water resisitant to 100 meters. It lasted about 90 seconds in the pool before water got inside it and the face went blank. Was this just a bad one and I should try another one? Or do I try to find a waterproof watch? Is there such a thing?

  • I bought a 8.99 sport watch at target three years ago and it swims 3 or 4 days a week with no problems. I think you just got a lemon. I've also had an ironman timex and it was fine, although the battery petered out in about 4 months.
