Can You Use Waterproof Watches for Swimming?
The rule here is that not all waterproof watches are the same. After all, there are many different protection classes and not all waterproof watches are standardized.
A watch that is standardized, you can basically wear very well in water sports activities. Without relevant specifications, it depends on the particular model. Some wristwatches can only withstand splashing water, while other watches can be worn in water, for example.
Up to What Depth Are Waterproof Watches Protected?
Basically, even waterproof watches should not be used for diving – even if, for example, “up to 50 m Waterproof” is indicated. The deeper below the water surface, the stronger the pressure will be.
Since you are only on the water surface on your paddle board, a confirmed water resistance according to the manufacturer is generally sufficient.
Do Watches Interfere With Paddle Boarding?
It depends on whether you are used to wearing a watch on your wrist. If you don’t wear a watch otherwise, it might bother you at the beginning. Otherwise, it won’t unless the wristband isn’t really comfortable or doesn’t fit properly.
Conclusion
A waterproof watch for paddle boarding makes sense in any case. Especially if you otherwise like to wear wristwatches as well. There are many different models, some of which are equipped with top modern features.
On the other hand, you will also find classic watches that also serve their purpose and are suitable for paddling.
