On the official page:
*IP67 Certified. Waterproof for up to 30 minutes in 1M of water with port cover closed.
**For the best reading experience, dry the screen if wet.

The last bit did make me laugh....really? That needs to be stated?
It's not just being waterproof, but it uses a better screen and that's important as it will have more contrast.
