Is the chest strap/hrm "sender" water proof too?

I have had my hands immersed in the water when I have changed a propeller on my boat and it is functioning fine.

Yes, you can wear it in the pool, but I checked with their service reps this morning and this is what they said: "The 60beat Blue uses 2.4 ghz transmitter (Bluetooth low energy). The chest strap is fully water resistant, however this frequency does not transmit well in water. This is the same frequency that Garmin has been using with their heart monitors for years and they do not claim it will work in a pool. We do not claim it either. In the open air, the blue will transmit 50 feet or more, but in the pool it may only transmit a short distance. We have one user that has a lot of luck in the pool, but they may be a unique use case (maybe only back stroke or water aerobics). So it does depend on how you use it. No harm in trying in the pool, it will not hurt the unit, but results will vary." Hope that helps.

I've never used it IN the water (i.e., swimming), and given that it is an electronic gadget, I wouldn't think you would want to purposefully put your heart monitor under water. But I get pretty sweaty during my HIIT workouts and I don't think spilling a little water from your water bottle from time to time harms 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'm not sure, the hr monitor has a text that says waterproof for 30 meters depth, but I have not tried. Last weekend I was diving but my watch, but under water the buttoms do not response. It begin to run two days after.

This is a water resistent, shockproof, and dustproof medical Alert USB device...I am saying water "resistant" because I have not gotten it wet and the cap does fit tightly...It depends it you spill something on it, or drop it in a container of water...I simply ADORE my device...

i can't really say if it's water proof because I've never immersed it in anything wet. It's been dropped many times though and has come through unbroken and with no operating issues.

I don't believe that the belt is waterproof. Also, the weights may rust when exposed to water. Sorry!

Haven't put it in water with phone inside, but when I checked it before using by placing it in water it appeared to be water proof.

In my experience, it has been water resistant but not water PROOF. I accidentally let my dog swim with the collar on and had to let it dry out before it worked again.

I use it for my heartrate monitor strap. You place a little gel where the receptors are. This prevents having to get the strap wet. When I would just use water I would have problems with my strap communicating to my watch but this gel is fantastic! Without water, sweat or gel the HRM strap can lose connection with your body. Hope this helps!

I do not know if it is waterproof (I have not worn it in the pool or shower), but I have worn it in the rain on many, many runs, and have sweated all over it (sorry, not trying to be gross, just a fact of running) and I have never noticed any problems with it. I really recommend this unit as an inexpensive alternative to the other GPS watches out there.

I sent a message to Spark People, and got a response within one day. They said it is waterproof. You can swim with it on. That it has gone through the wash by mistake, and is good.

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.

Im not sure if it's qualified as a water proof, but seems like it. I would feel safe to walk with this bag under rain. Definitely wouldn't swim with it :-)

It is pretty secure but it does not have a front strap on it.. it hold up to the rain well.. but is not completely water proof. Just water resistant
