It is completely water-proof although it does not have any swimming measurement capabilities (i.e. no stroke/cadence)
482518
Yes, it is. I've showered with it without any issues. I do not swim with it, but I'm sure I could if I wanted to.
482519
Yes. It's waterproof to 50m according to the Garmin site. It doesn't have any swim features though so you'd be better off removing it.

I'm afraid I can't tell you, but all Garmin products are at least water resistant since they're used in every imaginable WX condition. I've checked product info and my quick start manual without finding the answer. I suggest going to Garmin.com/support and select manuals. Since this is meant to be solely a runners watch I would guess it my only be water resistant.

As long as you use it within the confines of what it says from the manufacturer, it should be okay. i only ever use mine when i run or am in the gym, it is sealed from sweat. and has been great in pouring rain. have never gone to swim with it though...

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.

Hi, it is waterproof. It says it on the instructions and I also swam in it yesterday so it was submerged in water for long periods of time and still worked. However (and this might not apply to what you're asking) my transmitter (around the chest) kept losing signal so I need to figure out if there's something I need to do better to avoid that. But the watch itself worked just fine under the water.

Accidentally hit yes. It is not very water resistant at all. The case has holes for the charging plug, earphones, and speakers, so water can get in very easily. Additionally, I have found that this particular case, for some reason, causes condensation to build up inside the camera lens more easily than other cases I've used while running. I have ended up just using the case (which is silicone and does protect the phone well when dropped) as my every-day case, and hand-carrying the phone when I run. If it's raining, I just put it inside a zip-lock bag (and forego music for that run). Not perfect, but it worked through a half marathon and several 5 and 10k races Accidentally hit yes.

It's definitely not water proof, but yes, it will suffice if running from your office to the car while raining...pretty much any case will protect your device in that way. If you drop it into a puddle during said rain, that's another story.

How are you doing, Rlizabeth? I bought this item from Amazon.com a couple of years ago. While it is well made, and I like this item, I don't believe that it is waterproof. For one thing, the weights are in individual, unsealed pouches whereby water can easily enter. Therefore, there is no way to keep them dry and potentially rust-free. That being said, I would not recommend them for aqua excercises in the pool. But, if you're looking for a neat, cool weight training aide, these would definitely fit the bill. Good luck and please have a good day! Rafiah.

No, it is water resistant, not water proof. It can handle rain and sweat but not being submerged

No. It is water resistant but, definitely not water proof. There have also been some cases where heavy sweaters (people who sweat a lot, not the article of clothing) can cause it to short out due to excessive amounts of sweat. I haven't had this problem yet.

Don't get it wet...period! Sweat from your ear will drown your phone. No water resistance rating or if you really need a rating it classifies as a BIG Zilch!

Yes! I have often ran with it in the rain. Moreover, one day I decided to wash my running shoes and forgot to take off the case and my sensor! I was so upset, thinking that my sensor would be ruined or the case would have gotten messed up. However, despite the fact that it was sloshed around in water for a good 30 minutes or more, the sensor still worked and the case was totally fine! It's great. I really recommend it if you don't have the Nike shoes that can hold your sensor like my shoes.

You can swim~ as long as your head don't go into water , that is . This is sweat proof , nope waterproof

Water resistant and that used loosely... It's good against sweat or if you get caught in a sprinkle but not extreme water contact. I hope that helps

When I run I sweat a lot, and as long as I'm not wiping off my face, it stays on. However, when I shower, it definitely becomes super faint. So I think if you just swim but dab your face lightly when you dry it off you should be fine

I don't know but when I used it for running it gott pretty wet due to my sweat yet it still worked I know it's waterproof but not sure to what extent. It sure is durable though and rugged.

Yes, this model is water resistant and I do use it for swimming, from time to time. You will find a good review and plenty of interesting comments about this watch here: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/11/garmin-forerunner-depth-review.html

Not waterproof per say. I've run with it in the rain and haven't had any problems. Depends on if the water will get into the headphone jack opening at the top of the phone.
