If you are a watch owner Galaxy Watch4 (Classic), you must have liked them so much that you don't want to take them off even during water fun. The current heat wave is calling for them, and the good news is that if you're not going diving, you can keep them on your wrist.
As he himself states Samsung, Galaxy Watch4 to Galaxy Watch4 Classic have resistance according to the military standard MIL-STD-810G, their glass is Gorilla Glass DX specification. So something will definitely last. The water resistance is listed here as 5 ATM, you can also read it on their underside.

They definitely don't mind swimming
But what does this designation mean? That the company tested the watch at a depth of 1,5 meters for 30 minutes. It simply means that they definitely don't mind some swimming. However, if you wanted to go under the surface, you'd better leave them on land. They are not designed for diving. If your watch has already experienced something, or in particular a few falls, you should not expose it to water at all. Even if your watch is water resistant, remember that it is not indestructible.

So if you are going into the water with them, you should also activate the water lock - unless you are currently tracking your activity, where the watch does it automatically when swimming, for example. We wrote how to do it in a separate article. Also, whenever your watch gets wet, you should thoroughly dry it afterwards with a clean, soft cloth.

After use in sea or chlorinated water, rinse in fresh water and dry. If you don't do this, salt water can cause the watch to have functional or certain cosmetic problems. You definitely don't want the squeaky salt under the bezel in the case of the Classic model either. But avoid water sports such as water skiing. This is because fast splashing water can enter the watch more easily than if it is only exposed to ambient pressure.

And if I follow all this and yet the watch is damaged, Samsung rejects the claim as unrepaired. So what is all this advice and certification for???
And is this a watch with 5 ATM water resistance?
Yes, one. Unfortunately, this without a functional guarantee of warranty repairs is all for nothing and Samsung would rather not or change it often enough before it becomes potentiated... It is sad that using it in accordance with the advertised properties and advice can still lead to destruction and rejection of claims due to water ingress.
Exactly, Samsung does not recognize the complaint, it happened to me twice with their watches and I'm not a swimmer, maybe rain or water when washing my hands.
Not only Samsung, but neither Apple does not cover the warranty due to heating. What models has this happened to you?
Now I have a regular one watch4 and I'll see if they can handle at least what the Xiaomi mi Watch and that they also brought down the workshop, the wringer and the water stream
I had an Active 2 and I also "drowned" them. Samsung rejected the claim due to the ingress of an unknown liquid. A friend of the same watch, also swam with it and the same rejection of the claim.
We too, Aktive2 and drowned a month after the warranty after swimming in the pond
Interesting that I just drowned these in a natural swimming pool.... I swam for about 10 minutes even though swimming was set. Then she got out and dried the watch and suddenly it restarted 7 times and then turned off and that's it
I got it galaxy watch 3 and they still manage to swim in peace. I've already heard about Samsung's approach and heating of phone and watch devices, and enough from acquaintances. Every time I go out of the water I worry about whether they will still work. This will not happen with casio. But there won't be any smart functions.
5 ATM is not waterproof, but simply waterproof! This means that it can withstand rain, hand washing, etc. So don't lie here.
We present what Samsung states, first see how he states his definitions.
I had an old watch no Brand… they handle water just fine now I have a galaxy watch 4 and I'm quite scared.
I have them too and the first ones died, but they recognized the claim.... I'd rather not go into the water with them now
I had a sport version from Samsung.. with which I had a problem with water ingress.. luckily they recognized my claim.. now I bought Galaxy watch 4 classics. I am completely satisfied. The watch can handle jumping into the water and swimming both crawling and breaststroke. I can't complain. I swim in both natural and chlorinated pools.
The watch handles everything without any problems.
