Today I was rowing in a boat on the UK river Thames (dirty water :rolleyes: ) wearing my Gear S2 Sport and we unexpectedly capsized.
I was wearing the standard plasticky TPU strap.
I am pleased to say that the watch performed well. The deepest it went was probably around 2 feet, and it was submerged for around 2-3 minutes while swimming to the riverbank. It survived the dirty river water and never stopped working.
Some hours afterwards, the rotating bezel felt a little strange and clunky, so I span it round a few times and it's all good again, it maybe even feels a bit better than it did before! I expect this to revert back to normal as it dries further however. I believe this was due to some water caught in the back of the bezel.
Overall this watch appears to be waterproof for everyday use. I would not wear this while swimming (at least when it is planned anyway!) but if you fall into some water or drop it in, it should be all good.
