Swimming with my Watch7.

[slipd]

Hi guys, 

What's the deal with the Watch7 and water? Don't I have to active a mode before getting it wet - or is that just to force all of the excess water out afterwards?

Anyone with experience? 

Thanks!

@slipd  The water lock  deactivates the touch screen so would be advisable, bear in mind though the water resistance will be impacted  by chlorine or salt water.   Best to rinse the  device afterwards with fresh water  and dry it with a soft clean cloth.  The  5 ATM and Ip68 rating means it can withstand 30 minutes   of submersion in 1.5 metres of water.

However personally I do not use  the Galaxy Watch for swimming  and  water damage would not be covered under warranty.

Thanks! Okay, cool. I'll set it to lock before I go swimming then. Definitely says in the watch blurb that it's waterproof - even has swimming modes in the menu 😁

Not expecting any water damage but I'd be surprised if it wasn't covered under warranty...

Ok fine, it is water resistant which is not quite the same, yes it does have swimming modes though.
