Competition is good.

I don't know how long a device has to stay under water and at which depth to qualify as waterproof, and I don't personally read under water
, but I can assure you that my H2O survived many days at the pool being splashed around, being submerged in pool water at least twice and it even fell in the ocean. I plunged after it, rinsed it, and am still to this day
on it. The ocean episode happened in October. The season has now started again and my H2O is back in my beach bag. I will take it again on the boat. Just won't let idiots play with it anymore
.
Just to say: as a beach/pool reader, it's pretty impressive.
