Trying to decide which one to get to use and water and harsh weather.I like the sony sw3 and asus zen But I don't think the zen would hold up around salt water.

The SW3's IP68 rating only applies to fresh water, but it should survive salt water splashes fine if rinsed in fresh water at the end of the day.

The zen watch is IP55 Water Resistance but the metal worries me.

I picked up a sony sw3 this weekend happy so far
how has the salt water resistance been so far
For whatever it's worth, I found a handy comparison of water resistance over at Gizmag.com:
IPX5: Protected against water jets - Water projected at all angles through a 6.3 mm nozzle at a flow rate of 12.5 liters/min at a pressure of 30 kN/m2 for 3 minutes from a distance of 3 meters.
IPX6: Protected against heavy seas - Water projected at all angles through a 12.5 mm nozzle at a flow rate of 100 liters/min at a pressure of 100 kN/m2 for 3 minutes from a distance of 3 meters.
IPX7: Protected against water immersion - Immersion for 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter.
