Is the Garmin vivofit 2 waterproof? And can you safely bathe with it? null

Question

JayDZee · Accepted Answer

It is rated by Garmin as "waster resistant to 5atm", which translates to the pressure equivalent of being submerged to around 165 feet. However it is not sufficient for scuba diving or other such activities. It is perfectly fine for wearing in the shower or swimming at normal depths in swimming pools and such. I rarely take mine off and routinely wear it in the shower, swimming in the pool, and have even worn it in the ocean on my recent beach vacation.

I understand that people DO use the Vivofit in the shower & pool and even the "official" Garmin rep answer above says it's ok. What I don't understand is why then does the Safety and Product Information sheet that comes with the device (the one nobody reads) clearly state under Battery Warnings "Do not immerse or expose the device or batteries to water or other liquids..."
C'mon Garmin, which is it?

Yes, unlike the other bands that are only water resistant, the Vivofit 2 is fully waterproof. I have showered many times with it with no problem. I understand that you can even swim with it but I have not tried that yet.
