Q: QuestionCan you swim underwater in a 10 ft deep pool?

Asked 4 years ago by Ruby.

• A:Answer Garmin states that the Venu is rated at 5ATM & is suitable for swimming/diving in a pool. It also has a "Pool Swimming" activity setting, so I imagine Garmin had pool use in mind. I have not been in a pool since buying my Venu, but I have a Vivosmart HR that has the same rating and I never had an issue with swimming with it on. I have gone to the bottom of pools (10 feet or so) and not have a problem. I don't know that I'd risk staying at that depth with it for any length of time, but I'm not a diver either.

Q: QuestionHello, is the Venu shockproof, example: dropping

Asked 5 years ago by Fred.

• A:Answer Shockproof? The watch itself is pretty light and doesn't have a ton of surface area to break and the face is gorilla glass. It would be ok falling for a short distance but too far or onto a hard surface and you may damage the front. Not a gshock watch but pretty durable.
