Yes (see page 19 of the HR-210 Manual). You can review and/or download the HR-210 Manual at: http://omronhealthcare.com/wp-content/uploads/HR210-IM-08162011.pdf.

The Timex website says that it is water resistant to 100 meters. Not sure about swimming laps though.

No this is not water resistant for swimming. For a water resistan Garmin you need the Garmin Swim, 310xt or the 910xt. The other watches are water resistant against rainy runs.

Hi, Yes it is water resistant to a depth of 30m/100ft. Check the Suunto website for further details on this watch. I strongly recommend you purchase it.

I've worn mine in the pool all day but not all day every day... I don't know if it might wear out quicker with the constant water contact. Have you tried asking on Fitbit's FB page? I asked them a question last year and they answered pretty quickly.

As long as the watch is water resistant it should be fine . No need to take off the band

Sure. I swam laps in the pool with mine. Just be sure to rinse it well. The chlorine is hard on it.

No. And don't wash your hands while wearing it, either. From their website FAQ: "The Withings Pulse is not meant to be worn while swimming and as it is not waterproof it is not meant to be worn while taking a shower either. When exercising, we recommend that you place your Withings Pulse into the provided Belt Clip to avoid direct contact with the sweat for a prolonged period of time...Please note that any physical or liquid damage will void the warranty." Mine went dead after about two months, and because I hadn't read the small print, I didn't know this. I wore it on my wrist for endurance running (lots of sweat) and didn't remove it when I washed my hands throughout the day (activity tracking). When it stopped working and I tried to get it replaced, they made sure I knew that they would be able to tell whether it was ever wet and if so my warranty would be voided.

I swam with mine in a lap pool. Never leaked but it is reall bulky and you can feel it holding you back on your wrist. when swimming, I used a smaller hr monitor watch for swim because that was all I needed and it wasn't getting in the way.

Its water resistant is pretty lousy. I just use it a couple of times in a swimming pool and the glass went all foogy at the beginning and later on stopped working correctly. It is a shame because I liked the watch. Garmin should improve this.

Hi Kelly, I have not used this watch/chest strap in the pool. When I was researching this watch, other people mentioned that it is water resistant but will not perform under water. Hope that helps. Thank you, Sarah

E. Romero, I don't know if its water resistant like a watch. But I am confident that it will be reliable in the rain and other bad weather. I would not submerge it. But I do really like the laser sight. Its a great deal for the price I gave 3 of them for Christmas presents. Good luck.

Yes you can, but better don't. Basis does not recommend swimming with it because of the damage a dive can cause to the watch and band. If you don't dive swimming with it is apparently no problem.

The belt monitor is water resistant from the factory according to the manual; however once the battery has been changed new seals have to be installed for the monitor to maintain its water resistant qualities. The manual is sort of iffy in terms of it being water proof. In terms of swimming and having the monitor transmit heart rate information, it won't transmit under water and the instructions plainly states that. I think a monitor has to be analogue to transmit cardio info, this is digital. You can download the manual by googling Timex Men's T5K736 Zone Trainer Digital

This model is not water proof. The newer models are water resistant and would track distance for swimming. I just would not submerge it at any depth. I wear my new version all the time and have not had any issues with water.

Agree with Dave...if swimming is all you'll use it for, then stick with the swim only. If you ever plan on adding running and biking to your fitness program....this watch is definitely the one to have.

The watch is water-resistant to 50 meters. But, obviously, you'll need to swap out the nice leather band for the rubberized band (both were included when I bought it).
