From the above website: "MARATHON WATCH IS CURRENTLY ONLY MANUFACTURER
OF U.S. MILITARY WATCHES.
When the Government Buys Watches, They Specify Marathon. Absolutely Nothing Else."

:barf: One hell of statement--even have an official qualified products list for a wristwatch. I REALLY hate it when people (NOT you Minjin)
take things out of context.
As far as the original question, I
believe the Navigators are water resistant to 100 meters. That being said, I have swam with mine (watch gurus would--most likely--cringe at the thought). Showers, definitely have had no problem. The watch is not super robust (like a G-Shock), but I've worn mine on and off for several years now without "babying" it.
FWIW,
