Has anyone tested water resistance of our watch in real world conditions?
IP67 rating theoretically allows swimming with the watch even in the seawater.
I would like to swim with it, but big speaker hole on the left side is not very encouraging for salt/mud/sand conditions.
Also, how about pool chlorine ?
Thanks.
 
I got water in my speaker applying water to install a full body screen protector. it sounded very muffled after that until it dried and it was perfectly fine but based on that i was nervous about it so there's no way i would swim with it but thats just me

I have a Sony Xperia Z1 that also has the same waterproof rating, and the same thing happens with the speaker, but after a lot of underwater usage the phone still works perfectly fine. The speaker hole on the watch does concern me though for accumulating dirt as mentioned above, but I'm sure if you rinsed it out with clean tap water immediately after going for a swim and then resting it on it's side to drain out it should be ok. Still doesn't mean I want to be the one to try though. ;)
 
I've ran many times in pouring rain/snow and I've heard the muffled speaker sound from water inside it with no issues but I'd be afraid to keep it submerged for a long period of time.... but that's just me.
