the owner's manual says "The Forerunner is not intended to be used while swimming. Swimming or prolonged water submersion can cause a short in the unit.........."

No...... this device isn't water resistant in that sense. I ran w it in a light rain and the bezel had some difficulty,,, there is a Garmin that is water resistant, but not this one. Hope that helps.

No. Go with the Garmin 310xt...it's waterproof, more reliable and more durable.

Short answer: No.....water resistant to one meter for 30 mins and specifically states in manual "not intended to be used while swimming".

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.

Sweat resistant for sure. While training indoors I have soaked the watch, take a bath, and wash it and so on for a couple of months now without issues.As to the swimming pool, I´ve never tried it.

The sleeve that holds the lens on has a rubber o-ring which means it's at least partially water proof. It's water resistant, but I wouldn't go swimming with it.

No, only the FitBit Flex is water proof. The Zip is water resistant to sweat, rain, and puddles, but not to submersion in pools.

Hi Eric, It is water resistant. However, it should not to be immersed or come into continuous contact with water. -Anthony

It is water resistant, but I don't think I would keep it submerged for long periods of time. It's like a water proof watch. It's only water proof so far under water.

Yes, it is water resistant (i.e., good for swimming), but it is not a dive watch.

Yes it is water resistant! It says as long as it isn't submerged in water! My dog has wore his in the rain and I've had no problems so far! I hope that helps! :-)

It is waterproof for swimming both before and after a battery change per the manufacturer. I had no leakage issues after opening the case several times.

If you are asking if it is water proof or even water resistant I would say no.

Well I'm def not going to purposefully immerse it in water, but it has rubber O-rings (like on waterproof watches). It can definitely get wet, but I don't know about going swimming with it. High enough quality, it might just be able to.

Lifetrak states it is water resistant to 30 meters. I have not worn mine in the water so no first hand experience.

Yes, the 220 is water resistant and it can be used swimming although the GPS does not work very well constantly being submerged under water.

waterproof no, water resistant yes according to tje manufacturer . So, You may wash your hands but you can't swim wearing it. Honestly i usually remove before i wash my hands i don't want to get into trouble :). The good thing about it is very easy to wear and remov.
