Is this watch water resistant? Can you use it for swimming laps?

The Timex website says that it is water resistant to 100 meters. Not sure about swimming laps though.

E. Romero, I don't know if its water resistant like a watch. But I am confident that it will be reliable in the rain and other bad weather. I would not submerge it. But I do really like the laser sight. Its a great deal for the price I gave 3 of them for Christmas presents. Good luck.

The quick answer is no. I accidentally put mine through the washer in its silicone sleeve, and FitBit said I was LUCKY it made it out unharmed. If you're looking for a waterproof way to keep track of your distance in the pool, I would suggest the Swimovate Pool Mate, Swimovate Pool Mate Watch Speed, Distance and Lap Computer for Swimmers (Black)

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.

I bought two of these watches and one the blanked out due to moisture in the watch. It is a water resistant watch but one of mine. Can some one please help, because it is not nice to spend money for something that is now not working.

It is water resistant. It says to do not press button under water maintain residency, it does not say in the manual ok to use for lap swimming. Or h20 resistant at any depth of water. So I would not use it for lap swimming. Good question because originally I was given the impression that I could use it in the pool. Here is Polar's contact info if anyone would like to have it, 800-227-1314 or polarusa.com

No. Most of these have a water resistance of only 30 meters. You require a minimum of 200 meters (300 preferred) for a dive watch. It's more of the pressure exerted on the watch rather than the actual depth. With 30 meters rating you'd probably be safe washing your hands.

Well, just about nothing is considered "waterproof" anymore! Even watches in most cases are considered "water resistant" these days! That being said, I have already gotten mine wet and no problems.

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

All of the documentation I have found online states water resistant.Which usually means as long as you aren't diving with it you should be ok. My concern though would be the optical sensor on the back used for measuring heart rate. I personally would not swim with it on.

I believe it was battery. I honestly didn't use it bc it became cumbersome to hold while doing your task. Skip it and get a cheap analog wrist watch that is water proof.

Yes you can, but better don't. Basis does not recommend swimming with it because of the damage a dive can cause to the watch and band. If you don't dive swimming with it is apparently no problem.

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.

I read on the website that it is just water resistant. They suggest that you take it off for swimming.

Sweat resistant for sure. While training indoors I have soaked the watch, take a bath, and wash it and so on for a couple of months now without issues.As to the swimming pool, I´ve never tried it.

No. It is not good for swimming. Even running it seems that the sweet enters the watch.
