Hi! Is there somebody (like me) that wear the watch while takes a shower? Or something like that?

In my case my watch is working perfecly, waiting for the 1.4 update to ensure speaker is working well.

The watch is not water proof but water resistant. Although claimed to be IP67, Huawei advised to take it off before showering. (Cannot find reference anymore unfortunately....)

Yes, anyway it still works. And anywise, I usually never go to swim on pool, I do it on the sea, and in that case is dangerous due to salt, iodine, sand, and other substances in oceans water.

I swam with my LG G Watch and it has the same rating. Its submersible 3m (10ft) for 30min.

Now when I say swim, I mean I take it in my little backyard 5ft pool. I typically don't "swim" with it, but its in there with me. I try to keep it out of the water. But I love it for when I am on call for work. I can change tracks on Pandora and keep connected when I am relaxing on a raft.

My friend has the ZenWatch 2, same rating, and he showers with his.

All in all I'd say you could. I wouldn't, just so you can clean your wrist off once in a while, but if you jump in with it, it won't hurt it.

Once, i had a g watch too and while washing my hands the whole screen got filled up with water.

This happened after my watch got repaired, which I think this must have been the reason. No way i could have proven it.

Umm... before you have lots of people with broken watches moaning at you, IP67 doesn't allow for anything close to 3m (10ft) depth. It is actually 1m (3ft).

I Used to swim with them in the pool and then went to sauna or Hamam but during last try the watches swiched of and never on again. even after one week service told me that there was a water inside. That means that protection is very weak. I used to have huawei talk band b1 and it was also IP67 but 2 of them where dead after sweaming with them. I suppose that huawei protection is weak. I used to sweam with my SGS 5 in the sea and filmed and nothing happened.

Maybe if you would took SGS to sauna it would be also dead.
