Hi everyone!
Has anyone been to Aqua92 in France? It is supposed to be a 20m deep pool and yet my watch is saying it's only 19.1m. Is it defective? I think it's weird and dangerous if it's off by a meter. Should I contact customer support?

Thanks for your advice :)
 
if it's in saltwater mode and the pool is fresh it will be off by about a meter..

Its not that dangerous if your computer is a meter off.. just a bit disappointing if you get 49m when you did 50m haha.

Thanks Nathan! I didn't find any setting to switch from salt water to fresh water. But after looking on the internet about that it looks like the watch is calibrated for salt water. Yeah maybe I overreacted about the 'dangerous' part. But I guess it could have been a problem for scuba.
