What is not so expensive. Because if I could find an inexpensive waterproof watch I'd have it myself. I Tried a couple of under $50 watches that claimed waterproof. They were not. I even tried a watch under the Speedo brand, thinking they know about water. Nope.

 

I've been wearing a dive watch for a few years. I think it was close to $200, but it is in water 4 days a week.

 

If you give a price range it might be easier if such a watch exists.

My daughter has this Timex Ironman watch. Swims in it daily, including a half mile Tri swim in the ocean, lakes, surfing, etc. It is still ticking and she certainly does not treat it with care. Says water resistant to 330 feet??? If that isn't waterproof I guess I just don't understand what that "definition" would be. I would definitely check out to Ironman models.

 

Edited to add: possible DS model in teal: http://smile.amazon.com/Timex-Ironman-30-Lap-Watch/dp/B00KAFEZD8/ref=pd_sbs_watch_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=10P69WQ6ZVS9EVMF9M9T

I recommend the timex ironman 30 lap shock.  The shock in the name means it is more resistant to breaking from dropping.  The band type on these is easily replaceable if it breaks.  I recently replaced mine for less than $10 at a watch repair. I was told that the narrower bands are not as easily replaced. http://www.amazon.com/Timex-T5K585-Ironman-Traditional-30-Lap/dp/B006K6PHEC/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1416862585&sr=8-6&keywords=ironman+shock  It comes in bright colours.

my bad. I thought there was a big difference between the two terms, but the waterproof ones are good for going deeper in the water and the water resistant ones aren't..but for my purposes, water resistant is good enough!!

 

thanks everyone, now I have to decide which ones we like more..

 

does anyone know anything about these ones:
