WATER RESISTANCE
The heart rate monitor and its chest strap are water-resistant up to 3 bar. In the
table below you can see the activities and conditions for which the heart rate
monitor is suitable. The details are based on a test of water-resistance according to
DIN 8310.

Make sure you do not press the buttons when the watch is wet.
Water can only penetrate the housing and damage the movement through the
buttons. Please note that salt water and thermal water can lead to corrosion of
metal parts.
Please note that with extreme temperature differences (eg. from the sauna into the
pool, from sunbathing into the cold sea), the water resistance cannot be guaranteed.
Condensation can form as a result of the temperature differences and thereby
damage the movement.
In order to ensure the water resistance of your heart rate monitor, battery
replacement should be carried out by a watch specialist in order to avoid damage to
the seal ring and housing.
