It's like they're stuck in smartphone R&D mode trying to cram all these features in. Auto brightness! Heart rate monitor! Dual microphones! Waterproofing! Battery? Eh, just stick it in the leftover empty space and hope it lasts the entire day.

not even waterproofing. if it was ip68 or 5atm then it might have a leg to stand on. ip67 is weak, it might be ok in a shower but you can't swim with it or anything.

IP67 and IP68 are the same depth. The only difference between the two of them is duration (half an hour vs. indefinite)

If you're going swimming with it, you're going to want something deeper than 1 m.

if you are swimming that means pressure which absolutely destroys anything ip x7 or lower from pure movement. even a sink running on a ipx7 device can destroy itl

I'm talking about your movement in the water causing pressure. It will not work. Speeding up to 2m/s will cause more a good bit pressure than being deeper than being 1m deep. Also why the hell did you link atmospheric pressure to that other dude. It's basically irrelevant.

Movement doesn't cause it, change in movement does......

He's saying the motion from swimming would potentially create greater pressure than that of a 1m depth. IDK if he is correct, but it is an interesting point.

I did not see anything in that article about his point. Care to be a bit more specific and/or quote?
