30m (3 bar) basically means splash-proof, not even your stated 1m (activity while submerged, I suppose). Like, 30m is IPX4-5, 50m is IPX6 (very rough equivalence), so 30m is the barest minimum expected from a watch.
I wouldn't care so much about WR for a round Pebble, which I'd wear on nicer occasions. I would care more about WR for a watch that I'd wear at the beach or pool, as a way of getting notifications when not carrying my phone.
But screws might add thickness/weight to the watch, compared to glue.

I imagine most want some water resistance (e.g. 1m), but people may be torn on 30m if it means they lose out on screws. I'm in that category.
It would be really cool to see data
