Citizen Blue Angel as dive watch???

The increase in dynamic pressure due to current, moving your arm through the water or doing a giant stride is neglible

based on?

It's a common myth in watch circles; if you go to any watch forum you'll find a thread about it, mostly full of mis-information

Yeah. I'm already eyeing a new Citizen actual dive watch. I'm just thinking of using the Blue Angel for a few shallow dives. For instance, today I won't be below about 35 feet max.

You roll your dice and you take your chances.

I killed my Tag-Heuer Formula 1 by taking it diving. It's supposedly rated for 200-meters. It stopped working during a 60-ft dive. Brought it back to the shop and yes, it was flooded.

Yep. I would not take the words of a bunch of watch enthusiasts just because they happen to like watches. Liking watches (just like scuba diving) doesn't automatically make you a scientist or an engineer.

All the watches need to be are designed and made for diving. A Seiko Diver 100-m watch will not leak because it's only rated to 100-m.
