Wearable Water Ratings
Water Rating
We rigorously test our devices to make sure they’ll survive the activities for which they were designed. You should note that even if a device is above a depth it is rated for, it might still suffer water ingression if it is subjected to an activity that creates pressure on it that exceeds that depth rating.
Water Rating Definitions
| Water Rating | Definition |
|---|---|
| IPX7 | Withstands incidental exposure to water of up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes |
| IPX6 | Protected against powerful jets of water. Water projected at all angles through a 12.5 mm nozzle at a flow rate of 100 liters/min at a pressure of 100 kN/m2 for 3 minutes from a distance of 3 meters |
| 1 ATM | Withstands pressures equivalent to a depth of 10 meters |
| 3 ATM | Withstands pressures equivalent to a depth of 30 meters |
| 5 ATM | Withstands pressures equivalent to a depth of 50 meters |
| 10 ATM | Withstands pressures equivalent to a depth of 100 meters |
