Garmin tactix delta solar snorkeling in sea water

Hi, could anyone confirm if i can use the garmin tactix delta solar while snorkeling given that sea water is salty. I live in a tropical country and snorkel alot in different locations and never used a watch for it since im not sure .

Yes you can however you are unlikely to get any useful data from is a I'm guessing you will not be swimming as such but have your hands under water. You might get some heart rate data from the wrist heart rate but that depends on the usual conditions for getting reasonable results.

The big thing is that there is no reason why you cannot use the watch in sea water, or chlorinated pool water if that is what you are concerned about.

Thank you very much for the prompt reply, I understand that data would not be accurate as you have explained. Also could you kindly confirm if the button functions can be used underwater.

Device Care

Do not use a sharp object to clean the device.

Avoid chemical cleaners, solvents, and insect repellents that can damage plastic components and finishes.

Thoroughly rinse the device with fresh water after exposure to chlorine, salt water, sunscreen, cosmetics, alcohol, or other harsh chemicals. Prolonged exposure to these substances can damage the case.

Avoid pressing the keys under water.

Avoid extreme shock and harsh treatment, because it can degrade the life of the product.

Do not store the device where prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can occur, because it can cause permanent damage.
