Where these two actually differ
- We flag PTFE/PFAS in waterproof seals and gaskets, Polycarbonate photodegradation and optical haze, Gasket and elastomer degradation over time and Mold and bacterial growth in seals if not dried on the Aquatech and not on the B+W.
- The Aquatech is Polycarbonate/acrylic housing with waterproof seals and gaskets where the B+W is Optical glass lens with multi-coated optical surfaces, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
- We are less certain about the Aquatech grade, at 45% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
