We had a huge push here about waterproof vs waterresistant. “waterproof” means you can drop it into like, 12 ft of water for some crazy amount of time and it’ll be fine. Water Resistant is a much more flexible term like "If you use it outdoors and a drop of water gets on it you should be fine. Of course, no average consumer knows the difference and so they assume water resistant means water proof.

I blame cheap wristwatches of the late eighties for that. Water resistant 10m, you didn’t even need to think about water.
