While I think the C60 Pro 600 more than makes up for the price increase over the 300, I would still pick the 300 over the C65 in the context of a watch to swim with. Your talking twice the amount of water resistance. At 30 ATM WR, the C60 300 can withstand swimming, showering, and recreational diving. At 15 ATM, the C65 dress watch is pretty comfortable around water, but not so much a sure thing in it. When you have a friend who gets drunk and pushes you in the pool at a wedding, the C65 has got you covered. Spending time in the pool, not really a problem. But if you are doing laps at more than a leisurely pace, the pressure on the watch might be heavier than I would feel comfortable with.fishman wrote:Well, I'm considering two ideas for a watch to be worn while swimming and other water related outdoor activities. The Trident C60 300 black dial , red bezel with rubber strap or the Trident C65 classic black dial with the rubber touch black strap with red stitching. Thoughts?
The automatic movement, extra water resistance, and ceramic bezel though, make the C60 Pro 600 hard to resist if you are really looking for a great watch to get wet with.
