Waterproof - Water Resistant - See Information For Definitions
None of the stopwatches in our range are waterproof to the extent that they can safely be operated under water. To our knowledge, such a stopwatch does not exist outside the realm of divers' watches.

So we don't recommend that our watches are operated underwater.

The Fastime 28LW stopwatch is water resistant to IPX7.
