A: Yes, for anyone else reading this answer today, you can wear this on your daily swim. It is stated by Nomad that this is 100% waterproof leather (not sure of what quality whether it is genuine, top grain, or full grain...although it definitely does NOT look to be full grain) bonded to FKM (fluoroelastomer) which should also be very durable. Whether or not it is actually this cool or not or just a marketing thing...they state that they infuse the leather with natural lipids through their high-tech tanning process in Germany, which creates the hydrophobic property without using any chemicals or artificial surface coating materials. Keep in mind, this is on the Active Band specifically. I have had this band for about a year and a half and the pictures are from the time of writing this answer so anyone else can see how it holds up through daily life and I've went to Florida and swam in many pools, both chlorine and salt water. It's pricey, but you get what you pay for with watch bands.
