Is the Microsoft Band 2 waterproof?

[Windows Central]

No, the Microsoft Band 2 is not waterproof. The story doesn't end there, however. The Microsoft Band 2 actually meets the IPX7 standard in testing, but Microsoft insists the Band 2 is not intended to be immersed in water. If you try and it breaks, it won't be covered by the warranty.

IPX7 means protection against temporary immersion in water at a 1-meter depth for 30 minutes, but Microsoft does not recommend you trying that. The good news is that light rain and hand washing shouldn't harm your Microsoft Band.
