Is this watch water-resistant? If so, up to how many feet?

As far as "totally waterproof", this detector can go down to 10 feet max, so "totally" isn't necessarily the case either. Look to the Sea Hunter or Infinium LS Series for much more "waterproof" detectors from Garrett. Remember to get yourself a good set of waterproof headphones as well because they don't come with the machine automatically. I hope this helped. Good Hunting!

IT IS NOT Water resistant! I haven't had an issue about sweat, I got an extra band to change off and launder.

No. I believe the HR doesn't work in the water but it's water resistant to 30 meters.

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

It is water resistant, but I wouldn't recommend for a lot of swimming. Especially after a battery change

Although it's well made, I doubt that it's "waterproof". I'd say "water resistant".

The material feels the same as far as I can tell. If you put your arm under water with either this or the original Fitbit brand you'll get a little water in the opening where the Fitbit goes. But the Fitbit is safe to about 30 feet so I wouldn't be concerned unless you are deep sea diving. (Or throwing it off a bridge.) I never take mine off when showering or bathing. The original ones, that is - I just got this new one.

I would highly recommend against this. Despite company's claims, this watch is neither water-proof, nor water-resistant. Avoid water on or around the watch at all costs.

The watch is waterproof, wearing in the shower would be fine, however I would not recommend it. The watch is metal and solidly built, the band is also metal, but the piece connecting the band to the watch is cheap plastic and was broken within a couple of weeks. Unless they have improved that I would steer clear of it.

I am pretty sure that the watch is not waterproof but you may want to check with Garmin to be sure. I know my 405 was not. There may be other watches more appropriate for triathlons but enjoy the heck out of it for pure running.

I would say its water resistant, but it doesn't seem tight enough to be water proof.

The watch that I have does not have any condesation inside. I have not jogged in the rain with it or washed up while wearing it either. Although products say they are waterproof, I have been burned before so I don't do it. The watch was exposed to a light drizzle one day but that's it. ~~ I have placed products that got wet in a bowl of white rice in the past and that solved the problem. Hope this was helpful.

Per the user manual on water resistance: "WATCH * Your 30 meter water resistant watch withstands water pressure to 60psi * The Watch is only water resistant as long as the lens, pushbuttons, and case remain intact * Timex recommends rinsing your watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water WARNING: to maintain water resistance, do not press any buttons under water. SENSOR * Your 30 meter water resistant Personal Heart Rate Sensor withstands water pressure to 60psi. WARNING: This unit will not display your heart rate when operated under water." If you're going to do a LOT of pool aerobics I'd say there are probably better options out there simply because this watch is designed to be water resistant, not water PROOF and you'd hate to spring the cash just to accidentally press a button in the pool and scramble the whole works. I've not had a problem getting mine wet with sweat/rain but chlorine is substantially more damaging and I'd worry about the equipment.

I'm afraid I can't tell you, but all Garmin products are at least water resistant since they're used in every imaginable WX condition. I've checked product info and my quick start manual without finding the answer. I suggest going to Garmin.com/support and select manuals. Since this is meant to be solely a runners watch I would guess it my only be water resistant.

Yes, it is water resistant (i.e., good for swimming), but it is not a dive watch.

Its water resistant is pretty lousy. I just use it a couple of times in a swimming pool and the glass went all foogy at the beginning and later on stopped working correctly. It is a shame because I liked the watch. Garmin should improve this.
