Most watches are advertised as water-resistant, and that’s because there really isn’t an industry-standard definition for waterproof. If by waterproof, someone means a watch that is completely and utterly unaffected by water or water pressure, well, that doesn’t really exist. When advertisers use “waterproof”, they just mean water-resistant and hope no one looks into it.
You mean like dive watches? You are forgetting an entire category of watches that are built to operate underwater and under pressure. You can wear those anywhere. G-Shock has gone up in price over the years, but their Frogman is a very capable digital watch.
#6 Scandinavia has those (kind of). There are machines where you put the cans and bottles in, and you get a receipt that you can cash out in the register.
Whenever you buy a bottled or canned drink you pay 2NOK (3NOK if 0,5l or larger) in a recycling fee, and you get all of that back if you return the bottle/can. In Norway the return rate of plastic bottles was 95,1% and for aluminium cans it was 98,9% in 2018.
