What Does IP67 Actually Mean?
You've seen it on product pages: IP67, IP68, water-resistant, waterproof. But what does it actually mean in practice — and does it affect which smartwatch you should buy?
Breaking Down the IP Rating System
IP stands for Ingress Protection. The two digits that follow tell you exactly how protected a device is:
- First digit (1–6): protection against solid particles like dust. 6 = fully dust-tight.
- Second digit (1–9): protection against water. 7 = can be submerged up to 1 metre for up to 30 minutes.
What Can You Actually Do With an IP67 Smartwatch?
- ✔ Wear it in the rain
- ✔ Keep it on during intense sweaty workouts
- ✔ Splash it, rinse it, wash your hands with it on
- ✔ Accidentally drop it in a puddle or shallow water
What you should avoid:
- ✗ Swimming laps in a pool
- ✗ Diving or water sports with significant water pressure
- ✗ Hot showers (steam and heat degrade seals over time)
