Well I guess you cold use it to tread-water with. I believe the material will not shrink, or get deformed by being exposed to or used in water. The issue would be the type of weights you would use. I believe you could use lead (diving belt) type weights held in place by the velcro straps. Although it is designed to be used with metal barbell type weights - you would not want to use that in the water.

It looks like it is waterproof but you should contact customer service. They are VERY accommodating.

Advertising says it is: "Weather, dust and impact resistant". Mine has been in heavy rains before without a problem. I wouldn't take it swimming. :)

NOO. It's water resistant but if you plan on doing that...you need to go with a Life Proof case. Two VERY different things!

It is 4th generation and I am not sure about being water proof? I have not let it close enough to water to find out.Thanks

I have never used it wet or allowed the main unit to get wet. I doubt that it is water proof. My recommendation is to not get it wet, but other may have had no problem. Better safe than sorry.

How are you doing, Rlizabeth? I bought this item from Amazon.com a couple of years ago. While it is well made, and I like this item, I don't believe that it is waterproof. For one thing, the weights are in individual, unsealed pouches whereby water can easily enter. Therefore, there is no way to keep them dry and potentially rust-free. That being said, I would not recommend them for aqua excercises in the pool. But, if you're looking for a neat, cool weight training aide, these would definitely fit the bill. Good luck and please have a good day! Rafiah.

It is more water resistant and waterproof. I would spend more money and get something with a bigger panel because the specific panel on this device is not very effective and will take a few days to charge

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've got mine wet a couple of times, Don't know if you can swim in it. It take quite a bit of abuse.

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.

I think 'water resistant' is the proper description. I would not take it into the bathtub with me. There is a rubberized plug provided with the Boom that covers the jack and usb port. I assume it protects them from entry of moisture but again, I haven't triedd to drown the thing and wouldn't advise testing the limits. It's not for scuba diving, but I think it will survive an afternoon by the pool, on wet grass, or in a light rain.

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

It's splash resistant, not waterproof. For that you'll want a life proof case.

Yes its pretty fast I have a lot of fun with! And for the waterproof part for the most part it is, as in it will go right through puddles with no problem and run through water and mud like nothing just don't leave it in water to long because it will affect it.Well I hope this helps good luck
