Those words are used interchangeably. My watch is "100m water
resistant". It's waterproof.

Oh, really? Are you sure that the m doesn't stand for milliseconds,
and it is the time it can be underwater before it starts to let in
water? Everyone I know of who has had an accident that tested the
waterproofness seriously has found that it wasn't ....

Bullshit. Myself and millions of others swim with their watches on.

and dive, but not many dive to 100 metres.

I see no reason it would leak at that depth. The hardest part is making it waterproof at 1 metre.
