The Xiaomi Band 7 Pro is rated 5ATM for water resistance, meaning it can withstand pressures equivalent to a depth of 50 meters. This makes it suitable for showering, swimming in pools, and shallow-water activities. Avoid wearing it in hot showers, saunas, or during diving, as steam and high-pressure water jets may compromise the seal.
