Water Resistance
The Google Pixel Watch is designed to comply with a water protection rating of 5 ATM under ISO standard 22810:2010 when manufactured. This means it can withstand pressures equivalent to a depth of 50 meters.

Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may decrease over time due to normal wear and tear or damage. Some accessory bands are not water-resistant.
