Got myself a watch 5 (not pro) and gave the water lock feature a whirl under the tap. Still works. I intend to wear this watch whilst at my job which entails bathing/grooming dogs. What has your experience been? It feels wild to put something so expensive under water (coming from a fitbit charge 2…). Would you risk it, despite it being a feature?
I have been swimming with my galaxy watch 1st gen in the pool for years. It literally has the swimming activity in samsung health, so yeah, you’re good.
I swim in the pool with my watch 4. it should be fine.
although if its ocean water, I’d probably take it off.
it is water resistant, but NOT soap nor any other non-pure-water fluid resistant
It’s a watch made for every day use man. 4 years doing dishes in a restaurant and not one galaxy watch has had a problem. 3, 4, 5 or 6. There’d be no point in making a watch so delicate that you gotta take it off every 5 minutes. It is made for every day use.
I work in a restaurant and all my galaxy watches from 3 to 6 have been doing dishes in a sink with Industrial detergents and hot water and I have never had a problem. Not once. I don’t even use the water lock.
