Are both the watch and the heart rate monitor water proof?

In the watch it is written water resistance 50M, but in the monitor, there is nothing, so I do not believe it is

No, it isn't that water resistant other than maybe a last through a rain storm. If you need a water resistant watch, you should look at their triathlon watches.

I bought two of these watches and one the blanked out due to moisture in the watch. It is a water resistant watch but one of mine. Can some one please help, because it is not nice to spend money for something that is now not working.

It is 'water resistant' to 30m. So yes I would say it's waterproof. However even though it is waterproof, you will not get readings while underwater. For example triathletes can wear it during the swim portion so they don't have to take it off and put it back on but they will only get HR readings during the run and bike. It pairs via ANT+ so it is compatible with the vivoactive. Reference: http://www.thisisant.com/directory/vivoactive/Hope I could provide you with the answers you are looking for.

I am pretty sure that the watch is not waterproof but you may want to check with Garmin to be sure. I know my 405 was not. There may be other watches more appropriate for triathlons but enjoy the heck out of it for pure running.

It is water resistant, but I don't think I would keep it submerged for long periods of time. It's like a water proof watch. It's only water proof so far under water.

The manual that it came with was pretty basic, but no mention of heart rate monitor, and I checked and did not see this feature in the settings. No App market support. Said to be waterproof by manufacturer in ad, but upon receiving, indicates that it is not waterproof, and to not allow exposure to moisture.

Given that the watch was primarily made for running and it water resistant... I wouldn't recommend swimming with it.

Well I'm def not going to purposefully immerse it in water, but it has rubber O-rings (like on waterproof watches). It can definitely get wet, but I don't know about going swimming with it. High enough quality, it might just be able to.

I've never used it IN the water (i.e., swimming), and given that it is an electronic gadget, I wouldn't think you would want to purposefully put your heart monitor under water. But I get pretty sweaty during my HIIT workouts and I don't think spilling a little water from your water bottle from time to time harms it.

Yes, provided the watch is set to measure heart rate. This means the chest belt has to be fastened around you and dampened.

All chest HR monitors are sweat-resistant. In fact, they MUST be a little wet to work properly. But if you're looking for something to track your HR while swimming, this won't work.

Hi, the heart rate monitor works just fine for me and I've used it for maybe 7-10 runs and get VERY sweaty.

Per the user manual on water resistance: "WATCH * Your 30 meter water resistant watch withstands water pressure to 60psi * The Watch is only water resistant as long as the lens, pushbuttons, and case remain intact * Timex recommends rinsing your watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water WARNING: to maintain water resistance, do not press any buttons under water. SENSOR * Your 30 meter water resistant Personal Heart Rate Sensor withstands water pressure to 60psi. WARNING: This unit will not display your heart rate when operated under water." If you're going to do a LOT of pool aerobics I'd say there are probably better options out there simply because this watch is designed to be water resistant, not water PROOF and you'd hate to spring the cash just to accidentally press a button in the pool and scramble the whole works. I've not had a problem getting mine wet with sweat/rain but chlorine is substantially more damaging and I'd worry about the equipment.

i use the Alpha Mio continuous heart rate monitor watch while swimming. it reliably gives heart rate while swimming without pushing buttons. i can keep track of my heart rate without stopping and looking directly at the dial because there are colored LED lights that flash my approximate heart rate which are easy to check during the swim stroke. After the swim/run/bike ride, the watch will give me average heart rate during the workout and length of workout. I am not a mio employee.

vector is 30 meter water resistant.so this means that you can shower with it ,swim with it and other such activities.but you cant dive with it nor push buttons under water.....just be sure to place silicone ring in its place when changing the battery ,your watch will remain water resistant

You can wear both the watch and belt underwater, but the belt will not transmit your heart rate to the watch as long as it's submerged.
