30 meter water resistence is a non-starter for any even semi-active person.

That is 'wash your hands' territory......

I'd start at 100 meter which at least is good in a swimming pool or shower.....Maybe down to 20 meters.

The most common dive watch is 'rated' to 200 meters, by which time you get such features as a screw-down crown and certainly OK for light recreational scuba......

  Perfect. And inexpensive.
  
  I have a NIKE watch from a decade and change ago which I just rescued from a drawer. New battery took me 10 minutes to install...and I lubed the seal with a silicon hi-vacuum grease. I've worn while hiking / walking and so far.....sweat intrustion has not happened. I may have gotten away with it....
  It is the TRIAX C3 model....bottom of the line.....On the back....it says 'IPX8' which is a waterproof rating of 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. Should be OK in light rain or for handwashing.....
  Keeps good time and the stopwatch function comes in handy.....
  
  I had a Timex Triathlon many years ago....and long enough to wear out the buttons....IT ended its days strapped to the handlebars of my bike.......
