Is the Artemis Watch waterproof?Updated 3 days ago

The Artemis Watch is designed as an open-hardware educational kit, which is exactly what makes it so unique! Because of its modular nature, featuring exposed ports and headers that allow you to easily code, hack, and connect external sensors, it does not have a sealed housing or an official IP68 water-resistance rating.

Here is what you need to know about keeping your Artemis safe:

• Splash Resistant: The watch can handle light splashes, such as washing your hands or a few drops of dew. However, it definitely prefers to stay dry!

• Protect the Electronics: To keep your circuits safe and prevent any short-circuiting, we recommend treating it like a specialized piece of technology. Avoid wearing it in heavy rain, in the shower, or while swimming.

• A Wearable Computer, Not a Sports Watch: Think of the Artemis as a powerful wearable computer that you’ve built and programmed yourself. It’s a tool for learning and creating, rather than a rugged sports watch designed for extreme conditions.

Your hard work in coding deserves to last, so keep it away from moisture to ensure your project stays powered up for years to come!
