Is the unit waterproof? Can it survive a drop?

I've dropped it from 3-4 feet, and it's okay. Its light weight. I've never gotten it really wet, and I doubt it could be submerged. I would treat it like your cell phone.

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.

Water resistant Sue. It will not survive submerged. It is designed to defeat rain and it performs that very well. Put it out in the bad weather and it will be just fine.

Hi, I don't know if the entire unit is waterproof/resistant. I've had the panel exposed to morning dew and it was fine, but I don't know if rain or water were to get into the usb connector if it would continue to function properly. It might be worth trying to DIY waterproof to the usb connector.Good luck...sorry I didn't have a straightforward answer for you.

I do not think it is waterproof, I wouldn't recommend dipping this in water. The unit itself is very sturdy and heavy. Not sure about shockproof, I haven't dropped it or tested that out. I would think it would survive a fall but of course it depends on what kind of ground you are on. I do think it is durable and my friends have all bought this item and love it. I hope this helps :)

I havent had it out in anything torrential, but it has been perfectly waterproof in everyday rainstorm. *IF* you'll be riding a bike in the wet, the top flap only protects from above and water spraying upward will get into the main compartment. I'm pretty sure I could jump into a lake and the computer would never get wet though...

It is definetely water proof. I dropped it once in the water at a heigh of 7 meters and after being about 5 minutes in the water, it was retrieved without any issues.

I've used this on my bike in light rain conditions and everything inside, including my phone, stayed dry. I don't know what the manufacturer says, but I would say this is water "resistant," just not water "proof."

I wouldn't say it is totally waterproof, but it could handle getting wet from a rain shower. The connections are exposed in a mesh pouch on the rear of the unit, so any water that enters that area could get into the ports. The outside case is durable enough to last during an extended camping/ hiking trip. It does have locations sewn to the body that can be attached to a backpack during a hike, but you are better off placing it directly in the sun and letting it charge.

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.

Mine has not been soaked, but it has withstood rain just fine.But, if you have any doubt I would go ahead and treat it with a water protector.

I do not know if it is "officially" weatherproof but mine got rained on last September (albeit light rain) and unit was not affected.

I doubt it. But I have to say, mine has been rained on and it lived. (it wasn't immersed in water, but it did get wet.) I would tend to think that since it's an electrical device, it's not particularly water resistant.

Have had mine for 6 months and have dropped in water multiple times. No issues yet.

To be honest I'm not certain. I've never dropped it in water or tested its water resistance. The battery compartment seems pretty watertight though. Sorry I couldn't help you out. -J

The unit is not water proof but could easily be put in a water proof container.
