wanna throw this out there...water resistance. When it says 100 feet, does that mean like I can dive down into the water 100 feet? I just took this watch swimming and pretty sure it binked out after about 30 seconds...almost sounded like a time bomb. thoughts?

Nope, it is based on recognized standard's; it does NOT mean 100 ft. LITTERALLY ;-)It's 100ft static pressure. When you swim your arm movement through the water generates pressures above 100ft static. Find a watch that is waterproof to at least 300 ft if you want to take it for a swim.
