Is my smartwatch waterproof ?Updated a month ago

💧 Water resistance rating

What is the water resistance rating of my smartwatch?

All ICE Smart, ICE Fit, ICE Smart Junior, ICE Smart Junior Find Hub, ICE Smart Junior Find My, and ICE Kids 4G watches are rated IP68.

⚠️ IP68 does NOT mean waterproof. IP68 only protects against perspiration. It does not protect against hand washing, rain, swimming, showering, or any water activity.

Perspiration / sweat✅ OK
Hand washing❌ Not recommended
Rain / splashes❌ Not recommended
Shower or bath❌ Not allowed
Swimming (pool or sea)❌ Not allowed
Water sports / diving❌ Not allowed

🚿 Specific situations

Can I wear my smartwatch in the shower or hot tub?

No. Hot water and steam degrade the watch's internal seals. Always remove your watch before showering, bathing, or entering a hot tub.

Can I swim with my smartwatch?

No. Despite the IP68 rating, ICE Smart, ICE Fit, ICE Smart Junior, and ICE Kids 4G watches are not designed for swimming or prolonged immersion.

Can my child wear the ICE Smart Junior while playing with water?

Very brief, incidental contact with water is acceptable, but the watch should not be used in a pool, bath, or during water play. Keep it away from chlorinated water and do not press buttons while the watch is wet.

Can I use my smartwatch in cold weather or snow?

Yes — at temperatures above −10°C (14°F). Below that, battery performance may be reduced. Keep the watch under your sleeve and avoid contact with snow and ice.


🧹 Cleaning after water or sweat exposure

  1. Wipe the watch with a soft, dry cloth immediately.
  2. Avoid chemical cleaners, soaps, or perfumes.
  3. Let it air dry completely before charging.
  4. Do not charge the watch while it is wet.

⚠️ Water damage and warranty

⚠️ Water damage caused by use beyond IP68 resistance is not covered by the 2-year warranty.
