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've got a Timex Expedition that has so far lasted 11 years without a battery change, and with a lot of time in the water.
I did take it to a Wal-Mart to have the battery changed about 8 years ago, but the clerk checked the battery charge, blew off some dust, and put it back in. It's still working.
The buttons are in the wrong place to use the chrono to record laps (the start/split button is on the side), but it's very similar to the Ironman that I bought recently for that very reason.
Timex really does make good watches.
