1 Google Pixel Watch is designed to comply with a water protection rating of 5 ATM under ISO standard 22810:2010 and with a dust and water protection rating IP68 under IEC standard 60529 when each device leaves the factory, but it is not waterproof or dust proof. Water resistance and dust resistance are not permanent conditions, and will diminish or be lost over time due to normal wear and tear, device repair, disassembly or damage. Google Pixel Watch is not drop/impact proof and dropping your device may result in loss of water and dust resistance. Damage from drops, impacts, and other external forces are not covered under warranty. Google Pixel Watch is designed to be used in shallow water and should not be used for activities involving water at high velocity or high temperature. Some Google Pixel Watch bands are not water-resistant. See g.co/pixelwatch/water for details. After any exposure to liquid, we recommend drying the watch and band because, as with any wearable device, it’s best for your skin if the band is clean and dry
