I dive, surf, sail, etc. with it all the time (exposing it to all that nasty water that they tell you to keep it away from) and I've never had a problem with it. I have many friends with similar experiances, but then we were diving and surfing in warm water (wet-suit, what's that?) and I never use the buttons underwater. It keeps a h*ll of a lot better time than my analoge Seko ever did (it gained 2 min. a day!!), is a lot lighter, and (relatively) cheap to replace. Alas, I haven't been down since Christmas because I haven't bothered to get a wetsuit yet and I find it repulsive to spend over $15 a day (including gas and air) for diving. -- -- Chris Yoder UUCP --- {allegra|ihnp4}!scgvaxd!engvax!chris{ The opinions here are representative of Huge Aircrash, not me and *especially* not of my poor little keyboard. 8-)= }
