Sense automatic water lock

[CrudenBoy]

I would like to confirm that when I jump into water with the Sense, is protected? Do I do not need put it into some swim mode? I ask as I

Dived into a pool with my old Samsung Active 2 and the watch was ruined even though they claimed it was waterproof.  I should have locked it they tell me

@CrudenBoy sense is swim and shower proof. No need to enable any swim modes.

My versa malfunctioned while swimming. I had the versa for almost 2 yrs. I currently have the sense & it also malfunctioned while swimming.  I had the sense for 6 weeks.

i just had the same problem with sense after swimming in the pool.

Have you swam with the Sense without locking?

[Grandmalyn]

Did you use water lock function?

[Rich_Laue]

No one should claim that the watch is waterproof, at best it is water resistant up to  "X" pressure. 

The water lock disables the screen input, this mode doesn't add any additional protection

Thank you!!

This is the biggest laugh I've ever heard.  Apparently it's swim and shower proof, just not able to be worn on the wrist during normal activity.  Sense and support stink.  Both are useless.

Actually @1focus normally it is not recommended to wear a watch in the shower. Many showerstreaks exceed the recommended pressure.

I wear my Sense 24-7, no problem swimming including open water. It’s my first smart watch, I had no preconceptions of how good or tough it would be. I’m an industrial electrician and now nearly 2 years on its completely unmarked and gets a recharge every 5-6 days. The only change I’ve made was to swap to the sports band.
Maybe the only improvement I’d like is to on wrist calls but I see call notifications and call back when appropriate. 
In my opinion it’s far from useless, great value (compared to an AW) and I’ll most likely upgrade when a new version gets released.

One question. Do you use water lock when you swim? Thanks for the response!!

Wander and Wonder!

I don’t do anything different or make any changes, didn’t even consider it would be a problem.
