Hi Melody, Thank you for reaching out! To give you a direct answer, your Meta - Starfire Kylie Edition - Smart AI glasses are water-resistant, not waterproof. They come with an official IPX4 water-resistance rating, which is designed to handle everyday minor exposure but will not survive a swim. Here is exactly what would happen in the two scenarios you described: Scenario 1: Caught in pouring rain without an umbrella : - The Outcome: Your glasses will likely be completely fine if you act quickly, but heavy, driving rain pushes the limits of an IPX4 rating. - What to do: The IPX4 certification means the frames can survive light rain, sweat, and splashes from any direction. If you get caught in a downpour, you should take them off as soon as possible, store them safely away from the water, and wipe them completely dry with a microfiber cloth. Pay close attention to the open hinge areas and the charging contacts. Scenario 2: Recording a video by the pool and getting pushed in - The Outcome: This will very likely damage or permanently ruin the electronic components of the glasses. - Why: The glasses are absolutely not designed for submersion. Getting dunked in a pool forces high-pressure water directly into the open microphone ports, speakers, camera housing, and sensitive charging nodes. - Please Note: If this happens accidentally, do not try to turn them on or place them back inside their charging case. The charging case itself has zero water resistance and exposing it to moisture can cause an electrical short or permanent damage. Dry the frames immediately and thoroughly, and clear the charging areas of any pool chemical residue. Summary Checklist for Longevity: -Safe: Workouts/sweat, light drizzle, kitchen splashes. -Not Safe: Heavy downpours, pool submersions, showers, ocean waves. -Golden Rule: Treat them like luxury fashion sunglasses built with premium tech and keep them dry whenever you can to protect your investment.
