Not at all waterproof ! I would wait for a real good watch to come through.

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

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.

I have not tested the limits, but according to the manual that came with the watch, it is water resistant up to 30 meters.

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

I haven't tested any other swimming watch but I can say that the Forerunner 910XT has really impressed me in regards to its precision on detecting the style you're swimming, strokes, lap counts on swimming pool besides it's the best running/biking gps watch to me. Hope this helps! ;)

According to their site, it is water resistant and can be submerged up to 10 meters. I wear mine all the time, even in the shower, but I'd be hesitant to use it if I was in water most of the day. Maybe others have more experience with that...

the watch itself it is. the GPS sensor, I dont think so. It has a power connector so it may not be completely waterproof. You could put it in a ziplock bag I guess. it is a good watch though.

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 phoned Timex and it's all waterproof (unless you press any buttons) but I forgot to ask them about chlorine effect. They did say the heart rate signal can't transmit to the watch while under water.When I wear it all day, I usually feel like my ribs got bruised, and I have it on it's loosest setting. I even took off the elastic, and just but the stiff part on my with sports tape (and it transmitted), but I still got that feeling. But I sit maybe 80% of the time I wear it so maybe that's a factor for the ribs pressing against something hard.

Its front cover glass Is as water proof as most smart phones. The back cover for the battery isn't and if water gets inside will cause the sim card to not work well in which you have to dry it up with a thin cloth like the ones that come with prescribed glasses. There is a water proof watch you can search for which is 200 cheaper but Its not an android smart watch. Its a metal standard watch phone with slow internet.

I have been wearing mine in the pool for close to a month now with no problems. I don't think you can dive in it, but it's ok for swimming. You definitely can wear it it the shower or bath too.

Thanks everyone for all your input. I was about to purchase the BB but am now decided on the GWF. But does anyone know if this is waterproof and can be worn while swimming?

No, it isn't that water resistant other than maybe a last through a rain storm. If you need a water resistant watch, you should look at their triathlon watches.

The GSI is probably water-resistant to a depth of several maters, so you likely wouldn't hurt it if you wore it while swimming as a watch. However, the heart rate monitor works on the basis of wireless transmission from the chest strap to the GSI. This is designed for transmission through air, not through water. I wouldn't risk it.

I used mine right out of the box but have yet to go swimming with it. Not sure it's waterproof!
