[DISCUSSION] So you can go swimming with TS?

[funky0308]

Hi guys...

Just for fun and to talk about TS off-topic I'm creating this thread...

Great video from @Lokifish Marz
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53553746

Apparently...we could actually swim with it, we'll probably be electrified but that's not bad...or is it?

Anybody tried to swim with TS?
Want to sell parts now?

KS campaign video clearly said we could do that, right?

Don't even try it!!

Take it as a good advice...

LLPen took his kayaking. He said it survived, so I tried it with mine on a glassy smooth lagoon off San Francisco Bay. Mine survived, too. Wow !

I bet mine has Sapphire Crystal too (because it hasn't scratched yet) !

Mine didn't get wet hardly any while kayaking and I don't wear it while mixing concrete, so my testing is limited. Really, don't get it wet !

All of them are made with the Sapphire coating. Made has suffered from one tiny scratch that only could be found under a bright fluorescent light. Not bad considering I wear the watch while exercising in gym sometimes making a light knock against the metal on the weight machines(Made a mark on the black paint).

IP67

This IP67 part of lies makes me most angry.
I'm kayaking a lot, and swim at swimming pool few times a week, and I had sooo many plans for TS+water (including app to count swim distance).
And this IP67 sold watch for me...

 

[trent999]

Yes, that "Sapphire" coating is a big help, I agree. I am glad we have it. It is not, however what we were sold, which was a sapphire crystal like the expensive watches use and which is really quite tough indeed (and quite more expensive, I am sure). We got a treated glass surface and given other assembly issues that have turned up I would not be too sure all the TrueSmarts shipped got an equally effective coating treatment.

LOL Youtube rubs it in my face by showing me an advert of people on holiday swimming in the sea!

I'm not because I bought a second TS for my uncle when they "confirmed" you could go swimming with it.... #nothappy

 

[death_entry]

Actually I was thinking of immersing my TS into a load of this stuff!

This actually might work if it got into the "pores" and places inside the TS...

Passing through here, legit concerns as it relates to water resistant features... So let's keep on topic, OK?

I was actually being serious about getting the hydrophobic coating... We all know that the physical properties of the TS are useless soooo let's add some chemistry!

How abt dryzoo on indiegogo?

ip67 is just 30min under water so going to swim with it is a bad idea...

Why would it be a bad idea???
Swim for 30 minutes.
Or even better when you swim the watch will be going in and out of water so it should be good.
This is why for me all this IP rating is nonsense.

The TrueSmart watches are not at all waterproof. Many have been destroyed by casual splash damage like just getting wet while washing things in the kitchen sink. It's a shame, but don't get it wet.

Hehe...this thread is awesome..

My intention was to mock Omate and their IP rating circus

lol, just look at lokis immersion test where he sacrificed a TS!... And still Omate skirt round the issue... wonder if Loki got a refund for his factory sealed TS lol... All the waterproofing thing is doing is scaring people into not using their MicroSD Cards.... you're not going to loose any water protection because there isnt any to begin with...

inWatch offered to replace the Z if it gives me any issues from the test, Omate attacked my integrity upon seeing the video. So it's safe to assume a replacement is out of the question. Better QC and a couple of changes and the TS would probably hit 1ATM, a more serious evaluation of the design and they could have hit 3ATM.

Could I get a link?

I could do one video - water test -
My TS is somewhere on the shelf and I'm not using it (it's ridiculous to take it off evert time I'm washing my hands)..

I'm sure LLP would believe me
