Can I shower with a 5 ATM water resistant?

5 BAR / 5 ATM / 50m / 165ft: Your watch can withstand splashes, shower and is suitable for swimming. It is not suitable for water sports, pool-side diving or sea diving.

What is waterproof Level 5 ATM?

5 ATM, Swim. Withstands pressures equivalent to a depth of 50 meters. splashes, rain or snow, showering, swimming, diving into water, snorkeling.

What does ATM mean in water resistance?

Water resistance is stated as a depth ( ATM or Meters ) this means that it has been tested in a laboratory to with stand a static pressure for a short period only at the stated depth. The actual water pressure on the watch during use is greater than the static pressure.

What depth is 5 ATM?

about 50 meters
5ATM will withstand pressures equivalent to about 50 meters, or 164 ft under water. It is important to note that this is a measure of pressure NOT depth.

Is 5 ATM dust resistant?

Devices with a resistance level of 5ATM are water-resistant when you are swimming. You can wear this type of device when swimming or taking part in other water-related activities in your daily life. Dust-resistant level: If devices comply with the IEC 60529-2013 standard (level 6), it means that no dust can get inside.

Which is better 5ATM or IP68?

Any product rated at 5ATM can theoretically withstand pressure equivalent to 50 meters below sea level. Clearly a water resistance of 5ATM is going to be better than IP68.

How many feet is 5ATM?

The ATM or “atmospheres” is the amount of pressure a watch can withstand. 5ATM will withstand pressures equivalent to about 50 meters, or 164 ft under water. It is important to note that this is a measure of pressure NOT depth.

Can I wear water resistant watch in the shower?

No, you should never wear your watch in the shower. The combination of hot water and soap or shampoo will degrade the rubber gaskets that keep your watch’s water resistance over time. This will reduce your watch’s water resistance rating, and require more frequent watch servicing or repair.

Can you swim with 5ATM?

When the watch is marked 5ATM or 50 meters water resistance, it means that it is suitable for short-distance swimming in shallows, and cannot be used for diving or snorkeling. When the watch is marked 10ATM or 100 meters waterproof, it means that it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling.

What is the highest IP rating for waterproof?

IP68 ratings occupy the very top of the IP rating scale. Both digits are at their maximum level: A 6 for total protection against solid ingress. An 8 for total protection against water ingress, up to and including complete submersion below one meter and for more than 30 minutes.

Which water resistant is better 5ATM or IP68?

Clearly a water resistance of 5ATM is going to be better than IP68. Even though, in the case of IP68, you may not know how much further than a meter the watch is resistant, more than likely it won’t be too much. And it most probably won’t exceed 50 meters!
