Swim proof smartwatches

Swim proof

— smartwatches and fitness bands with good water resistance have the ability to swim. Their degree of protection against moisture penetration can be indicated by the IP (Ingress Protection) standard, WR (Water Resistant), or both markings at once (see "Protection Level (IP)" and "Water Resistance (WR)"). The WR designation implies only water resistance. "Water-resistant" devices have a protection level of at least WR50M, and for prolonged underwater immersion and diving, it is better to look at models with a protection rating of WR100M and WR200M. However, it is actually worth relying on the official product specifications — some watches with a declared protection rating of WR30M are also quite suitable for swimming, and their menu even includes relevant exercise options for water sports disciplines. It is always recommended to check the manufacturer's recommendations, as they indicate whether the device is suitable for use in water and what activities it can support.
