The Outback is 100 M Water Resistant

and has a screw down crown, and a screw back. It has double the WR of many of our models, but shouldn't be used as a 'Diver's' watch. It will be water resisatnt in all 'above ground' activities, such as you mentioned, but NO watches should be worn in a hot soapy shower, jaccuzzi, or sauna, as the heat can cause the metal, and rubber seals to expand and contract at different rates, possible leading to a broached seal.
