No water resistant is not the same as water proof
as far as I know water resistant watch can only be
splashed with water not submerged in it
i.e. washing hands or showering
while water proof piece can be submerged to certain
depth regarding marking
50m -swimming
100m - snorkeling
200m - scuba diving
1000m and more - you don't need to worry :0)
but most important is that no watch is either water proof or water resistant
forever .... so regular check out and maintenance is crucial
back to 5960 what exactly do you have in mind regarding exposure
of this complicated watch to water ... and above all why?

I wouldn't do this

5960-Water Resistant?
I am reluctant to have my 5960 exposed to water. Don't know why..seems wrong. Has anyone given theirs the test. Is water resistant the same as water proof?

Seems Strange....
that a chrono would be water resistant since IMO it is a sports watch. Either way I won't have it in the water.
that's why I did it on your behalf Damian ;-)
As for the 5960, I would not wear it anywhere near a pool or on the ocean. Imagine what the strap would smell like after a day on the ocean... O
