Swimming with Touchscreen - does it work ok?

Hi,

I would appreciate some insights if the Venu 2 touchscreen works ok during swimming or is the screen not usable at all being fully or partly wet?

thx

I doubt it can works during swimming.

I don't swim at all, but I wear the watch all the time (incl. shower) - once the display is wet, it's useless - it take many tries to catch the touch.
Contrariwise once the water picked up the incoming call (I didn't notice that at all, just my friend asked me later why I picked up the call but said no word) and once it sent predefined reply to the text message.... So I'm trying not to forgot to lock the screen before the shower...

It doesn't work, data screens may flip on their own too. BTW, be cautios when using buttons under water too - water may leak in. That's just my guess, always tried to avoid doing this.

I just realized that the venu2 locks the screen automatically during swim workouts. that is smart.
