Has anyone worn their band in the shower? I currently have a Vivosmart and I've had no issues, but I'd hate to take a shower with my new band on and end up bricking it!!
Thanks for the info. My showers are generally about 5-8 minutes (and yes, I'm female LOL), so I'm not sure how much charging time I get, but I will probably use the time to give it a top off.
Five to 8? Can you give my wife some pointers? HAHA. Figure in the time to get dressed and stuff and it's a few minutes more.
Being spoiled by my year long Vivofit (obviously no smart watch type functions) I've been trying to figure out the ideal times to charge. First world problems, I know. Though by the time I decide to pull the trigger they will probably be backordered for ever....
Well, my head is basically buzzed now (VERY short pixie cut), so that cuts a TON of time off. I can get ready for work in 15 minutes, now, shower, dressing, and makeup included. LOL
Microsoft says not to wear it in a shower but I don't think it's a massive risk.
IP67 only certifies it for water RESISTANCE. And when they say water they mean ambient temperature water. Neither ice cold water nor hot water.
Also, water resistance ISN'T the same as waterproof. The Microsoft Band can get wet but shouldn't be immersed in water. That would require an IP58 or IP68 as found on Sony's Smartband Talk.
If I were you I would not use it in the shower.
Why would anyone want to wear such a thing in the shower?
