is this unit water proof or water resistant?

The head unit is not waterproof. Speakers can get water on them and still be fine from what I've done getting in and out of the boat, but none of this stuff is waterproof.

It has gaskets that seal the unit, but I can't say it's water proof. It's probably water resistant so that if you dropped it into a bucket of water, there would be no harm. As a diver, I don't think I'd take this under water.

Upon receiving my unit I immediately used a silicone based caulk to cover every seam. I then painted the housing white to match the fence it was attached to (you obviously do not paint the black solar panel or the light output section). I have now had the unit for one month and it has worked flawlessly. I live in a very wet section of the US and it has survived numerous downpours of rain. It is mounted in the open with nothing covering it whatsoever. So for me it is waterproof.

It is more water resistant and waterproof. I would spend more money and get something with a bigger panel because the specific panel on this device is not very effective and will take a few days to charge

It is water resistant but not water proof. So I would say the answer to your question is no.

If you are referring to being water resistant. Mine hasn't been in anyway near water. I will think it's not water resistant.

It built with an aluminum housing, so it is waterproof. Actually you'd better use it indoor I suggest , that can have a long life.

No it is not, it is water resistant, however there are some uncovered speaker holes in the bottom.

Hi - yes it is water resistant to some degree. I have had it for ~8 months and have had no problems. I've run in the rain with it a few times and I usually rinse it off under the faucet after every (or every other) use. So far, no problems and it's already outlasted the Timex Ironman I had previously. I have not 'submerged' it (i.e. swimming, etc.). Hope this helps!

Weather resistant. Ok for outdoor use, but keep it away from wet areas. Mind you, it's not very loud though.

No it is water resistant. But mine never stopped working and I was out in a thunderstorm for 4 hours wearing it. It's about as close to waterproof that you can get.

It is water resistant. I do not believe it is water proof. I've brought it out in the rain and snow and it stayed dry. So no it is not water proof just water resistant.

This particular unit is not waterproof. The imw575, which is a bit more expensive, is waterproof.

It is fairly heavy due to the 3 large batteries (D), but there are a couple holes in the base for mounting on screw heads. I don't believe the unit is waterproof however.

water resistant! I used it in China and we did experience rain and my stuff stayed dry.

It's not that great. It's definitely only water resistant. Mine stopped working after about a month and my only guess could be water
