Posted at 2022-04-09 by Mi Not an authorative answer, but what I know from reading the forums: Posted at 2022-04-09 by malaire Features lists water resistance as "IP67 Water resistant (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes - everyday use, not swimming)" Posted at 2022-04-09 by johan_m_o A shower nozzle can generate quite a high pressure (much higher than what you see at 1 meter deep water). I would not use the watch in the shower... Posted at 2022-04-09 by gfric Where is the hole I'd have to seal? I always forget taking it off, when I go to the shower. Also, the watch needs cleaning, too ;) Posted at 2022-04-09 by johan_m_o On the top under the strap. Posted at 2022-04-10 by user142407 Thank you everyone! Posted at 2022-04-10 by gfric I closed that hole with epoxy now. Many thanks. Posted at 2022-04-11 by nicoboss Doesn't sealing this little hole make the watch's barometer unusable? Posted at 2022-04-11 by Mi yes
So its a decision about priority Posted at 2022-04-18 by HughB Sure there has been another post about this and general outcome was not very water resistant. Swimming not recommended. Posted at 2022-04-19 by gfric Sealed the hole with epoxy. Yesterday I was in a thermal bath and a steam sauna (are these the correct terms, google?) and battery dropped during these 2 hours from 100 to 90%. Posted at 2022-04-19 by MoeMoep
If by that you mean a bath with hot, mineral rich water ... Don't ... I wrecked a G-Shock back in the day by doing that. The minerals are death to all the seals making any water-tightness! Sauna should be ok thought, thats just a room with high humidity. Posted at 2022-04-28 by user143289 So if you seal the barometer hole it's like 5atm proof? Or what? Posted at 2022-04-29 by gfric It depends on what breaks first. The glue or the watches sealing. |

Thought I better ask before I swim with it on. Is it water resistant? Not worried about water proof, just want to be able to swim or shower with it.
Forgive me if it is obvious. My Infinitime is, but this isnt na Infinitime. =)
Thanks!
