Pressure Testing a DSSD

Can the standard process used in testing a Sub be used for testing a DSSD for general water proofness? I understand the depth ratings between a Sub and DSSD are considerably different, however, if I needed to simply ensure the watch was fine for casual swimming/diving could the standards used in testing a Sub work for the DSSD? I don't really want to send it off when an acceptable test could be done locally. Thanks in advance.

Although watches like the DSSD are rated to a depth that no man or even superman will ever use in water.A pressure check for any watch to 200m-300m if passes will be safe for all water sports including scuba diving.

Yep, a normal pressure test is fine.
