Is the watch water-resistant? Can it be worn in the shower?

Yes, the watch has an IP67 rating, meaning it is water-resistant in fresh water up to 1 metre for 30 minutes. It is generally safe to wear in the shower, but we recommend avoiding exposure to hot water, steam, soaps, shampoos, and high-pressure jets, as these can degrade the seals and affect the device.

The watch should not be worn in baths, swimming pools, or the ocean, as chlorine, saltwater, and other chemicals can damage components and void the warranty.

To prolong the life of your device, always dry it off thoroughly after it gets wet.
