I just ran my watch through the wash. Well, that one didn't last long.
I probably should support my own watch habit rather than encourage people to give me things that, going by my history, I can expect to kill pretty quickly.
But do they survive being washed with the light colors? :-)
I did once have a watch that made it alive through the wash, an 80s digital spec'ed at 200-meter waterproof. Those ratings turn out to be highly optimistic (they assume purely static pressure, so you can't move underwater, and for damn sure don't push any buttons), but that was still good enough for sport diving, above 130'. And the wash.
