Maybe im lucky and very careful...
Well that's just it Elliott, you don't do laps, when I go in water I do laps, and fool around where you have waves, I usually don't go in the water if it's just to relax, or only if I need to cool down 5 minutes, but mostly I like to be very active in water, for me I wouldn't take in water anything less than 100m, especially not watches more than 5K

too many factors for me to go risk a 20-30k watch, a 5k one maybe, not more

As of right now, the only watch I risk to do anything with is my G-shock and my Garmin Fenix. I hope to one day be able to risk 5k watches haha.

My RO is for desk diving only, or sitting next to a pool haha.

This!
Maybe the 15202 is fine with light swimming - but why risk it??

Can you take a G-Class offroading?...

Seriously, there is nothing to worry about as long as you have the piece pressure tested anually/bi-annually. You have to perform a pretty special diving manoeuvre at surface level to generate 200 something psi. And for gaskets and temperature changes, you can pretty much go from Dubai sun to arctic water temperatures and it won't affect the gaskets to that extent. The day I go G-Shock...

Sorry for being rude, I just want to make a point.

I'm sure it's fine in the water. The issue is all the concrete walls and getting in and out of the pool. Seems like a high scratch risk that I'd avoid.
