Q: Is it waterproof so I can wear it swimming?
A: The product says it is IP68 Rated. Look up IP68. The 6 means dustproof and the 8 means Immersion beyond 1m. So it appears they built it to be waterproof even though they do not specifically say its waterproof. http://www.dsmt.com/resources/ip-rating-chart/
