Read it down. Come out with a specification.
Six rows, in the order a watch is actually specified. The options in each row are Shijin’s own words. The photographs under them are real products from that category, so nothing here is an option that exists only on a page.

And the water resistance
The seventh decision, and the one buyers most often get wrong. Shijin publishes a table for it; this is theirs, quoted.
| Rating | What Shijin says it is for |
|---|---|
| 30 m, 3ATM | Daily water resistance, can withstand splashes when washing hands and face, not for swimming or immersion. |
| 50 m, 5ATM | Enhanced daily water resistance, can withstand short-term rain or shallow hand washing, not for swimming. |
| 100 m, 10ATM | Suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and other water sports. |
| 200 m, 20ATM | Suitable for diving, scuba diving, and other deep-water sports. |
| 300 m | Suitable for deep-sea diving. |
Shijin’s own table labels both the 200 metre and the 300 metre rows 20ATM. Both cannot be right, so the ATM label is left off the 300 metre row here rather than guessed at. They add that water resistance weakens as seals age and that seals should be replaced regularly.
