The FR410 is ‘sorta waterproofed’.  By that, I mean that from a pure technicality standpoint it passes IPX7 waterproofing standards, which means that it’ll support being kept at 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.  This does not however mean that it’ll be happy about it.  Nor does it mean that it’ll be happy about being strapped to your wrist for 30 minutes whacking the water every 1.2 seconds during the water entry portion of your stroke.

What it does mean though is that it’s generally safe to have around water, and more than fine for rain.  Rain isn’t a problem, as it isn’t subjecting pressure on the components.  It’s water depth that causes issues.  You can stay in the rain all day with it (as I have), just don’t stay in the pool all day with it.  It’s also fine in the shower, as I’ve been doing that every day for over a month now – no issues.

That said, you can indeed utilize the swim cap method for measuring distance outdoors while swimming (indoors wouldn’t measure anything).  To do so, you’ll want to follow my instructions here, which walk you through the steps.

I did this for a recent swim in the Seychelles, which lasted about half an hour, and crossed a bay.  In my case, I didn’t place the watch in a plastic baggie, but rather just in my swimcap.  In general though, I’d recommend a plastic Ziploc bag under the swim cap just to be safe.

Hello- I am interesting in the watch for $100. can you send me picture?
