When you buy a watch, it's common to see specifications like "3 ATM," "5 ATM," or even "10 ATM." But what does that really mean? Can I swim with it? Shower? What happens if it rains?
Today we'll explain it to you simply, without unnecessary technicalities. And yes, a 5 ATM Capri is ready to accompany you in your daily life without worrying about water . But first, let's take it step by step.
What does ATM mean?
ATM stands for "atmospheres." It's a unit of pressure that indicates how much pressure the watch can withstand before water enters its interior. The higher the number, the greater the water resistance.
Each 1 ATM is equivalent to 10 meters of static depth underwater (this doesn't mean you can dive 50 meters with a 5 ATM watch, mind you). It's a theoretical measurement of pressure, not a literal invitation to dive.
So… what can you do with a 5 ATM watch?
A 5 ATM water resistant watch like Capri Watches is designed to withstand:
-
Wash your hands without problems
-
Heavy rain
-
Showers (although it's better if you don't use very hot water)
-
Splashes
-
Surface swimming (pool or calm sea)
What is not recommended:
-
Dive
-
Extreme water sports
-
Showers with very hot steam
-
Prolonged deep dives
5 ATM is the sweet spot between realistic protection and comfort. It's the perfect resistance for everyday use. You wear it, go about your life, and forget to take it off for any stupid reason.
Why is it important for your watch to have at least 5 ATM?
Many beautiful watches on the market only have a 3 ATM lifespan, or even none at all. This means a simple, heavy rain can damage them . And when you invest in a watch, you want to wear it with freedom, not fear.
At Capri, we take this detail seriously. That's why our watches include:
-
Durable mineral crystal
-
Threaded cap (prevents leaks)
-
Solid 165g frame
-
5 ATM real water resistance
All of this means you can wear your Capri with confidence in any everyday situation. Because a good watch should accompany you, not limit you.
A watch for your rhythm, not for showcases
What good is a watch you have to take off all the time? Capri is designed to live with you: at work, in the city, at the beach, on an unexpected trip, or in the rain. It's not a fragile accessory. It's a stylish tool.
Capri Watches. The watch you dream about.
