This says 200m, and is good for diving, can possibly resist to 200 metres but is not suitable for saturation diving because of lack of helium valve*:
This says 100m, and has been tested to 100 metres without water ingress although it is not a diving watch:
This one is rated to 30 metres and will only tolerate a light sprinkle when you wash your hands:
* you may do without the helium valve if you must: unscrew and pull the crown to let the gaz out as pressure decreases back to normal in the decompression chamber. But the watch is not fully functional during this time
