I would like to know if anyone actually swam with it? How did it work after that? Thanks

It was a gift and the recipient has yet to swim with it, but that was a big selling point for me since it would be used in triathlon. According to all of the specs it is rated for water, I just wouldn't use it is you're a scuba diver.

My son continues to use the Sony NWZ-W273BLK while swimming but he still has the same problems with it. After about 20 laps, the left side stops working. Once it has dried out (after about 24 hours) it starts working again. Very frustrating, especially if your aim is to swim more than 20 length at a time. He also tried wearing a swimming cap, but it was the same. I have no alternative suggestions I'm afraid. Grin and bear it or don't bother seem to be the two options with this model.

Yes! It is amazing! We worked so hard getting our pool up, then it got punctured. This was the only product I could find that worked under water! It is fabulous!!

I haven't had that problem. Mine works fine and I've had it quite a while now. Are you blowing the water that gets in out the top? I don't dive down with it; I just swim laps.

Thanks for responding. I took it to hawaii and used it snorkelling I was afraid it would die but it worked great and took some cool fish pictures. I'm very impressed with it

I use the vault around the pool. It gets splashed a bit but I've never tried the hard test of actual intentional submersion. I always make sure the gasket lining is tight and secure. Suggestion (which I may try): submerge vault WITHOUT jambox and see if it gets wet, and where. As for float trip, I'm guessing it'll stand up to a bit of a dunking but not rapids/rocks. It's well built and seems rugged but not sure I'd push it that far. I can tell you that it really seals up tight and the device sounds great even in the vault.

It did well underwater. Even the video did good. There are two doors on the battery compartment. I made sure that I closed them individually so that I knew they were both locked in place. Some people have complained about leaks and I'm suspecting that not getting the inner door locked in may be what causes it. I can't prove it though. I should add we only used it in pool water so it was pretty clear not sure how it would do in murkier water

Unfortunately I'm in the middle of the Desert right now so it's being tested with the extreme heat, blowing sand, sweat, and dust. It's performed great so far. I have not been in the water w/ it yet. I am a scuba diver and it is guaranteed waterproof down to 33 feet so I will test it for you when I have the chance. It should work just fine. Just make sure you rinse it in fresh water if you take it into salt water. Salt water will destroy any metal over time.

It floats & really swims, but unfortunately after only a couple of uses, it stopped working. I think water got inside it. My granddaughter loved it and still plays with it, but it doesn't swim anymore.

When I first used it I kept breathing in water...eventually I realised I needed to fiddle with the valve, the inner bits were just in the wrong place. After that ... Absolutely no issues. Good luck and happy swimming.

I just got it in the US and it had a slight amount of dust compared to the other reports. I bought it expecting to fill my pool with all the dust these reviews said it would have. I was only able to swim in a 2 foot kiddie pool of dust. Such a let down!! I imagine it would build up quite a bit more on the longer trip to Paris. Perhaps you can send me yours?

I never use it. I returned it. I did lot of researches I have found it is a scam. The water will get dirty without your feet in it. Good luck!

Hi TJ, I've worn it while swimming and it still works. Not deep sea diving or anything, just in a pool swimming in a sportive way. Also I've been wearing it in the shower for 9 months now. I do avoid pushing the button when in the water, no idea if that's necessary, but that's just what I've been doing. Hope that helps..

I do laps with it and it has been fine. I am not in the water for 90 mins at a time but I do about 120 mins a week in the pool.

Wear a swim cap or a headband when doing water aerobics. Mine still works after 8 months, over 100 swims, for sure, including wearing it when I take a long pre-swim warm-up shower, completely submerged when I swim a length along the bottom of the pool. No worries. It is waterproof.
