Okay. I have looked at all the google information I can handle on water resistance. Yet, I am still confused... "Water-tested 200 meters" and "diver 200 meters". . . These are two different things? Is there a end-all source on this? I went to the ISO page, but apparently you have to buy their information. .....help...?

Just my little knowledge, water tested 200m is the watch already test with machine, can stand pressure for 200m, but not made for special Diver watch. If the Diver 200m they made the watch for proffesional diver, and already tested too can stand pressure 200m.

AFAIK, in north america in particular, there is some legality around saying a watch is 'water proof', so there are different ways to reference water tightness as 'resistant' or just listing the dept to which it was tested, which again is a nisnomer cuz pressure testing is done in a machine to a certain pressure, not actually dunked to 100, 200 or 300m, etc.
