Well you thought that was odd, I check out my Casio digital. It says WR50 in 
the upper corner so I assume that is 50 meters. But on the back it says: Water 
Resistance 5 BAR, Made in China. It can even be programed to read in 13 
languages!

I just bought a digital wristwatch to time my running. Remember when these 
were marked, "water resistant to 100 m" or "water resistant to 50 m?" All 
the watches I saw in this display were marked "water resistant eo 330 
ft!!!!"  Of course, that's more "hidden metric," 100 m. The WOMBATized watch 
I bought is made by Armitron. At least I could switch the time on it to 
24-hour format and the date to day-month format.
