Kospet Prime 2 IP67

[royaleroll]

I have read conflicting information on the Kospet Prime 2. Some sites indicate it is IP67 water resistance. Others say it has no water resistance. Can anyone confirm?

This watch has no water resistance rating. The IP67 is 100% marketing. There is even a gap where the camera band goes into the camera. Be very careful around water.

My understanding is the Prime 2 is splash proof. I don't take mine into showers but have washed hands with it on. I think if you are careful, a bit of water on it shouldn't be a problem.

Would be cautious even with washing hands. This really was designed to be water resistant. See this photo.

I haven't heard of any water issues with this watch yet. I suspect this may be overblown.

Since this is a new watch, may be too early still to know if this will become an issue.

When I purchased this watch I knew it did not have any water resistance rating. I am very careful not to get it wet. My camera no longer works but since it wasn't exposed to water, I don't believe that was the issue.

That moveable ribbon for the camera is a weak spot on this watch for sure. The gap for water entry combined with wear over time is not ideal.
