Just a quick data point - while swimming with an IWC Deep One, the depth gauge max-depth telltale has never measured more than a 3 meter variation from sea-level from all of my splashing and flailing around. One time I fell off a boat, and it registered 5 meters, but I probably went 2-3 meters underwater when I cratered.
Now, perhaps the gauge doesn't respond very quickly to short-impulse forces, but when
the test pump is attached, it sure looks like it does. So I've decided not to worry too
much about the dynamic pressure changes from swimming.
