Technically, there is no waterproof smartwatch available today. They are water-resistant instead. The Garmin Watches are no different.

No matter the situation, the ultimate waterproof smartwatch won’t let even 1% intrusion. Since smartwatches can only withstand so much water pressure, there is no such thing as a waterproof model.

The conclusion that Garmin Watches are not waterproof is obvious. However, compared to the competitors, practically all of its watches offer higher water resistance.

Should I shower with my Garmin?

Yes, you can use a Garmin Watch while showering. Additionally, with high-end Garmin watches, you may engage in a variety of water-based sports like open-water swimming, pool swimming, snorkelling, surfing, and even diving.

Even though you can take a shower while wearing a Garmin Watch, be aware that the labelled water resistance (5 ATM/10 ATM) is temporary and could deteriorate with time.

Your Garmin Watch (or any other smartwatch) is more vulnerable to water damage if you expose it to soaps, shampoos, lotions, and fragrances since these products might impair the watch’s water seal.
