I dont know the exact water resistant specification but I do wash my hands while wearing it though. I dont think I will try showering in it anytime soon.

Hello Tarek, with anything that's electronic, just as your cell phone, it's to be very careful around water, yet with the Gear, you can wash your hands. Yet do not get Gear wet, remember it's just like your cell phone, just cooler! Enjoy it if you already have it, if not yet, when you do!

I haven't tried to shower with it, and most likely won't. When I wash my hands I do try to keep the water off of it. My friend who is a chef takes his off to wash his hands. Water resistant is not a confidence inspiring phrase.

You can wash your hands if you are careful. However, do not get a shower or submerge it under water.

I don't know the answer to that question, as I've never attempted to see if it's waterproof, logically to me there is an input jack to power the watch on the back of it which would lead me to believe it's not waterproof. But if you have any questions, call Samsung's toll-free customer service number to find out, they are really easy to work with and well-informed.

There are all degrees of water-resistance. It is constructed like a hand-held calculator or a TV remote, especially as far as the battery compartment and control buttons go. Can it stand a few drops of plain water splashed on it? sure; Can you pick it up with wet fingers without damaging it? sure; but soft drink or coffee splashes would eventually gum up the buttons, just like buttons on a TV remote might; ...certainly it is not water-proof.

Water resistant is probably the right term. The less exposure to water, the longer it lasts, of course. Daily showers are no problem. I swim for an hour with it. I can get about 5 days out of it before it gets too scruffy-looking. Got 6 days once when I didn't swim. DO NOT DRY IT with a blow dryer or you will get a burn on your skin from the adhesive! That's a big warning. Just let it air dry.

I have not tested it for water resistance. But I don't think you would want to use this in the shower.

I use it in the shower and it stopped working after 5 uses. I'm not sure how waterproof this thing really is...maybe just water resistant.

It is water resistant but cannot be used for swimming. The gps tracking does not work properly when swimming. I believe the more expensive model (550?) is suitable for swimming.

Yes this is waterproof. I really never take mine off. I shower in it, wash dishes, clothes, go swimming etc. Obviously I wouldn't go diving or anything where the water is deep with more pressure, but general day to day activities and normal exercising is no problem.

I would not advise it - water resistant while cleaning but nowhere does it say it is water proof.

It is water resistant, but I wouldn't recommend for a lot of swimming. Especially after a battery change

I'd say it's safe to put in the shower, but not directly in the path of the water. It handles the steam just fine. I think thst what it means by "weather proof."

It is not water resistant. Also, if you are sweating outside in, you should seek for medical attention. This devise will however be fine with the seat on your arm.

The Basis B1 was water resistant but not waterproof. We don't recommend swimming while wearing the band but it should be fine in the shower.

No, but you can wash your hands while wearing it. It is as water resistant as any watch.

It is water resistant, so you can run in the rain with it. However the owner's manual states that buttons should not be pushed when it is underwater. Other answers advise that this should not be used for swimming because water causes problems with GPS reception.

I suppose if you are the sort that likes to shower with a wrist watch on, it would hold up..... Personally, I like to clean my wrists along with the rest of me, so I don`t shower with a watch on...or anything else. I have washed dishes with it on....But that is not taking a shower.

vector is 30 meter water resistant.so this means that you can shower with it ,swim with it and other such activities.but you cant dive with it nor push buttons under water.....just be sure to place silicone ring in its place when changing the battery ,your watch will remain water resistant
