I know the water resistance topic has come up frequently on the forums. One aspect of David Sen's PVD that pleases me immensely, and caused me to commit, is that he's having the pieces tested to 3 ATM, so this is a decent water resistant piece, which I can use around the pool, on the beach etc. Great!
But I also got thinking that I'd be willing to pay extra for anti-shocking. I don't know if something like the gens' "incabloc" anti-shock can be manufactured into the reps, but it would be great not to have to baby these rugged looking watches so much. I wouldn't expect something that needs to withstand a bloody pounding (tho' my Seiko Divers has taken some rough love, and still is reliable and cost USD 350 or so ...), but the occasional bump.
Do you agree? If so, how much extra are these attributes worth (ie water resistance, anti-shock)?
