K.T.NThe 30 m is a static water pressure in a vacuum test. When you move the watch underwater while swimming even close to surface, the dynamic pressure is significantly higher. In a shower, hot temperature also makes the case expand and loosen the seal, while soap decreases surface tension of the water making it easier to enter through seal.

BTW how did 30m/99ft water resistance come to mean: withstands rain and splashes of water, but not showering or submersion (from Amazon)?
In my neck of the woods, that's called a bald faced lie.
Who came up with that labeling convention, anyhow?
