The Reliability Test Group conduct waterproof tests in accordance with the international standards set by the IP Code.
The tests consist of rain simulation, water jets, and submersion, which each have a corresponding IP rating. A smartphone that is rated IPX8, for example, can be used even if it has been submerged in 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes, with the test lab verifying that the device works normally.
Galaxy Watch, Gear Sports and Gear Fit2 Pro are designed to be suitable for wearing while swimming, and require other tests to ensure that they meet the atmospheric pressure standard of 5ATM. The lab has designed a test that assesses the devices’ performance while the wearer is swimming.
