Likely be fine if given a prolonged rinse under the tap if you drop it in the bath or sea.
The Aura HD H2O was sort of waterproof if the bezel double sided tape was OK and the door flap was properly closed and not worn.

A really waterproof, in sense of sealed, gadget is possible. Note true waterproof watches have screw on backs.
Kobo did show the H2O submerged in a pool. SO that means chlorine is OK.
