How deep does that meter rating on the dial mean?

Depth rating:

When someone says a watch is rated to 100m, 200m, 300m what does that look like |  Dr. Richard Harris (from the Rescue)  

• When you get your open water recreational rating you are rated to dive to 18m / 60ft

• Deep rating =  40 m / 130 ft

• Beyond 40m you get into XR (extend range programs and technical diving territory) 60-80m

• 100m/328ft welcome to Hypoxic trimix territory

TLDR on saturation, and an example of the ship needed

• JFD flythrough of a saturation dive boat
