Surprisingly waterproof!

[elbimster]

So I umm "accidentally" got my band wet a few weeks back. By which I mean it somehow sat in a tub of water fully submerged for about 8 hours. Somehow, it was still working fine! Your results may vary of course, but this guy is surprisingly waterproof! I no longer feel worried about swimming with it.

Two very different things. Sitting submerged in static water is one thing but the dynamic forces against the Band as you swim with it is quite another.

Fair statement DroidUser42. I'll wear it next time I'm swimming and let you know the results. I paid for the SquareTrade warranty, it's cheaper for them to send a replacement than a check, so I may as well take advantage.

I did shake it around a bit while it was submerged attempting to destroy it faster, but I know that isn't the same as actual swimming. I'll report back results.
