..so no snorkeling for 5 ATM watches on Casio watches.
That means garmin really has some high tech seals so FR235 can handle snorkeling just fine?
And I'm interested, since jumping into water is allowed, will I be fine with FR235 jumping "on the head first" (so my fingers and then my watch hits water first so START and BACK buttons are exposed to high pressure water ) from like 3-5 meters high?
So if by Garmin 5 ATM activities = 10 ATM activities, whats the deal here if you know what I mean? I guess Fenix5 10ATM has better seal but is that just a fraction?
many thanks
