What is 5 atmospheres in feet?
The ATM or “atmospheres” is the amount of pressure a watch can withstand. 5ATM will withstand pressures equivalent to about 50 meters, or 164 ft under water.
What does 5ATM mean on a Fossil watch?
The above devices have been certified to 5ATM standards. This means that they are water resistant to up to 50 metres in depth for 10 minutes. An ATM rating is an international standard that shows you the number of “atmospheres” of pressure your device can handle when motionless under water.
How deep can a 5ATM watch go?
50 meters
Water Rating Definitions
| Water Rating | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1 ATM | Withstands pressures equivalent to a depth of 10 meters |
| 3 ATM | Withstands pressures equivalent to a depth of 30 meters |
| 5 ATM, Swim | Withstands pressures equivalent to a depth of 50 meters |
| 10 ATM | Withstands pressures equivalent to a depth of 100 meters |
How many feet deep is an atmosphere?
33 feet
One atmosphere is approximately equal to 33 feet of sea water or 14.7 psi, which gives 4.9/11 or about 0.445 psi per foot.
What does ATM mean on a watch?
ATMOSPHERES
ATM on the back of a watch stands for ATMOSPHERES. Which is a little odd. 1ATM (or 1 ATMOSPHERE) is the normal atmospheric pressure in day to day life at sea level. Although this isn’t a strong and fast rule. Underwater atmospheric pressure is affected by all sorts of things.
What does ATM stand for in water resistance?
Atmospheres
What is the ATM? The ATM of a watch is short for Atmospheres and is a measure of the level of water pressure a watch is designed to withhold. A higher ATM means that a watch can withhold more water pressure, whilst a lower ATM mean that it was designed to withstand less pressure.
Can I go swimming with a 5 ATM watch?
5 BAR / 5 ATM / 50m / 165ft: Your watch can withstand splashes, shower and is suitable for swimming. It is not suitable for water sports, pool-side diving or sea diving.
Which is better 5 ATM or IP68?
Much like IP68 for Galaxy smartphones, a rating of 5ATM denotes the level of water pressure it can withstand. Galaxy Watch, Watch Active3, and Watch3 are all rated 5ATM as well as IP68, meaning that they are water resistant and resistant to water pressure at a depth of up to 50 meters.
What does ATM depth stand for?
ATM on the back of a watch stands for ATMOSPHERES. Whilst a watch may be 10ATM, it doesn’t mean that you can dive into 90m deep water. ATM varies underwater so a 10ATM watch is good for swimming, but we strongly recommend that you only dive in a proper diving watch. As a general rule: 3ATM is splash resistant.
What is 50 ATM water resistant?
Can I shower with a 10 ATM watch?
Gradations watch waterproofing 5 bar, 5 ATM, 50 Meter (50M) water resistant withstands shower water. 10 bar, 10 ATM, 100 Meter (100M) water resistant is suitable for swimming and water sports. 20 bar, 20 ATM, 200 Meter (200M) water resistant is suitable for professional sports.
