the watch itself it is. the GPS sensor, I dont think so. It has a power connector so it may not be completely waterproof. You could put it in a ziplock bag I guess. it is a good watch though.

you can wash it under running water ,but not sink in water .it says ipx7 on the back.

Hi Tumang! The computer training is 100% waterproof. But in relation to G5 sensor, you need to put it in a impermeable sack and keep it with you, in your wetsuit, speedo or even under your swim cap.Good luck!

Yes the gps unit is water proof, however, if you swim with it- it will not give reliable results. Best way to swim with it is to put it inside your swim cap... this seems tp give a more consistent signal/ reading. Hope this helps and good luck.

Yes. It's waterproof to 50m according to the Garmin site. It doesn't have any swim features though so you'd be better off removing it.

Hi, it is waterproof. It says it on the instructions and I also swam in it yesterday so it was submerged in water for long periods of time and still worked. However (and this might not apply to what you're asking) my transmitter (around the chest) kept losing signal so I need to figure out if there's something I need to do better to avoid that. But the watch itself worked just fine under the water.

I have been using 910 XT indor swimming for more than 2 months. No problem mesuring lenghts although sometimes it is not absolutelly accurate mainly when mixing styles. I have not payed attention to the GPS due to I am indoor and I guess it is no needed

Hi, Is not waterproof to GalaxyS4. There is a waterproof function to GalaxyS5.

No case, or phone, is "waterproof", regardless of what the company says. All phones and cases must have holes for the speaker and microphones. This case is water resistant, but I would not recommend taking it swimming. The galaxy s5 and life proof cases are false advertising if they say waterproof. Take this from a person who has worked in the phone repair business for a number of years.

The belt monitor is water resistant from the factory according to the manual; however once the battery has been changed new seals have to be installed for the monitor to maintain its water resistant qualities. The manual is sort of iffy in terms of it being water proof. In terms of swimming and having the monitor transmit heart rate information, it won't transmit under water and the instructions plainly states that. I think a monitor has to be analogue to transmit cardio info, this is digital. You can download the manual by googling Timex Men's T5K736 Zone Trainer Digital

This is my 3rd heart rate monitor and the 3rd one that says it's NOT to be used swimming. The watch is fine, provided you don't press any buttons while submerged but I haven't found a heart rate monitor strap that's OK to swim in. I would guess that higher end HRM watches & straps (>$100) are fine for swimming.

I don't know anything about the Garmin. This unit is at least water resistant. Sealed and rubber cover over the power button. It comes with everything you need to mount and hardwire it - you can detach the unit from the mount without disconnecting any wires - wiring goes to the mount point.

I do not know if it is waterproof (I have not worn it in the pool or shower), but I have worn it in the rain on many, many runs, and have sweated all over it (sorry, not trying to be gross, just a fact of running) and I have never noticed any problems with it. I really recommend this unit as an inexpensive alternative to the other GPS watches out there.

I don't know because I don't swim with my watch. I do take shower wearing the watch and it is Just fine! HRM gets detected immediately when I water the strap and wrap it around chest. Hope this helps...you may want to check with other reviewers.

I used mine right out of the box but have yet to go swimming with it. Not sure it's waterproof!

I have used mine for swimming as it is water resistant to 50 meters. However, if the screen is wet the touch sensor that moves you between screens does not work without drying it off first. All in all, I've been satisfied with my purchase, though.

This watch would probably not be best for lap swimming. It probably would not be accurate since it isn't set up that way. In terms of being waterproof, I would say its water resistant at best.

I didn't swim with it. Took it in the shower with me and brought it in the pool and took pix underwater. Only thing I would suggest is getting a self timer photo app. Screen doesn't work very well underwater.

No this is not water resistant for swimming. For a water resistan Garmin you need the Garmin Swim, 310xt or the 910xt. The other watches are water resistant against rainy runs.
