If you actually plan to use the item in the water, then movement etc. Can be a big factor. Swishing around a 20m water resistant watch in the bath will probably cause it to leak. In my experience, swimming with a waterproof camera can have the same effect, lost an olympus "tough" that way.
If you really want true "waterproofness" you have to pay for a good housing. 10m waterproof cameras are fine for splashing in the pool, but they won't last, and won't suffer too much exuberance.

The only confusing thing is that you need to type in your user id on the page before the one that asks you to select the pentax user discount. The order process is; fill out some details, next, fill out more details, next, etc...

In a word, it's horrible. It works but it feels so cheap and nasty, it makes me not want to use the camera when it's fitted.
I had a grip on my K200d, but don't seem to feel the need on the K5. I think the larger grip makes it easier to hold in portrait anyway.
As already said, save the money and buy a spare battery instead.

The area opposite the tower of London might be a good start.

From a mechanical perspective the chain and trailing arm can make for a very interesting composition.

Perhaps the k3 will support Bluetooth options. I use a very good Bluetooth gps dongle (gets a signal while in my pocket or bag) when I'm hiking or skiing.
Conversion technology is good, but if I'm not outside, then I know where I was anyway so perhaps not so useful.
I am looking forward to seeing exactly where I was while diving though, at least before I got under the water anyway.
