Is the Samsung Galaxy Ring waterproof?

The Samsung Galaxy Ring has two certifications: It has an IP68 rating and a 10 ATM rating. This makes it more water-resistant than most traditional tech products, but we still wouldn’t call it “waterproof,” as it has limitations.
The IP68 rating tells us it can handle both liquids and solids, such as dust. This rating tells us the unit can be submerged up to six feet for as long as 30 minutes. Additionally, the 10 ATM rating lets us know it can also go as deep as 100 meters for up to 10 minutes.
Another extra benefit is that Samsung has conducted these tests with 5% salt water and 4ppm chlorine water, which is more than other tech products can handle. This means that it should be safe to go swimming with the Galaxy Ring, even in pools and the ocean. Normally, IP ratings only cover fresh water exposure.
Water resistance is not a permanent condition and can diminish over time.
