Waterproof watch Galaxy Watch5 and its meaning
A watch Galaxy Watch 5 and 5 Pro have an IP68 degree of protection, which is divided into two variables. The first number indicates the level of resistance to solid particles such as dust and dirt. The second number represents the level of resistance to liquids. In the case of watches Galaxy Watch5 is therefore a degree of resistance against dust 6 and against water 8, which in both cases are very high values.

IP68 is generally considered to be a very good rating and will allow you to swim with the watch and not have any issues with it afterwards, as long as you only do so for a certain amount of time. With an IP68 degree of protection, you can submerge the watch for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1,5 meters. Samsung doesn't explicitly say that you can swim with the watch, but at the same time it offers several swimming exercises specifically designed for the watch Galaxy Watch5 and 5Pro.

If you decide to do a few laps in the pool or even in the ocean, you should activate the water lock before entering the waves (it activates automatically during water activity). Water lock is a feature that turns off the watch's touch recognition, preventing water from activating any menus. Another advantage of this feature is that when it is then turned off, the watch uses low-frequency sounds to push all the water out of the device's speakers.
