You should avoid sea water and chlorine. Although I did a test in a pool, it's probably not a good idea. And the screen becomes sticky until cleaned out.
The warranty states that the phone can be exposed to clean water only. Anything else will void it.

I took it with me into the pool and sea a number of times. Water was splashing all over it, here and then I was taking shots from underwater. After finishing however I found some spots water remaining under the cover (outside the sealed area). After each water session it is necessary to immediately rinse the phone with clean water and dry it, in particular the unsealed area under the rear cover (of course not rinse the inside).
To my opinion this is the way all phones should be build. It is nice to know that dropping the device into a water will not kill it, or not needing to worry about transporting it in the outside pocket during my motorbike or bicycle rides. I am not convinced however regarding the long term sealing capabilities of the USB port. I feel there should be a factory charging dock included with the phone, or obtainable for a significantly more reasonable price.than the DK25.

Water Resistant

So I was reading the nexus 6 spec sheet and I saw that it was water resistant. I was wondering if anybody knows how water resistant it is since I know that it doesn't have the standard IP 6/7 military rating that most phones that are water resistant claim to have. Like will it survive a me dropping it in a puddle or being submerged completely? IS anybody else curious?

There was a post of someone doing some things with it in a bathtub, http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/video-nexus-6-water-test-submerge-t2949904 . But since it isn't rated, this is a YMMV sort of situation.

Thanks for the link bro. That video made me cringe.

My Xperia Z drowned in a bath eventually, no way will I be doing anything like that with the Nexus 6. Had to claim on insurance for water Damage on a water proof phone!

[Q] Is the original watch strap that comes with the watch waterproof?

I know the watch is waterproof, but is the leather band? I realize it's leather, but there is such a thing as waterproof leather. And why make a watch that's waterproof but give it a band that is not? If you know the answer, please point me in the direction of where you read that it was or was not. Thank you

my watch survived a kayaking experience (along with my s5) without any apparent harm.

Occasional waterdrops is no problem for the strap but it won't like a shower. For a waterproof strap you'll have to change to plastic type.

No, the watch ain't waterproof they way it souds when you say it. You can carefully walk in rain / wash your hands with watch on your wrist, but you can not put it under water (swimming or so) or keep it while going to shower. In fact you can, but it's most likely gonna suck water in.
Read more about IP rating here

It can be under water for short periods, with zero issues.
I've worn mine at a water park, going in and out of water for short periods, zero problems.
The watch is rated IP67. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code
Solid particle protection:
6 Dust tight No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact (dust tight)

Liquid ingress protection:
7 Immersion up to 1 m Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1 m of submersion). Test duration: 30 minutes
The lowest point of enclosures with a height less than 850 mm is located 1000 mm below the surface of the water, the highest point of enclosures with a height equal to or greater than 850 mm is located 150 mm below the surface of the water

I still would not recommend outright "swimming" with it. Since that may keep it under for longer than rated. I also would not try a shower, just because depending on the water jets, it's not 9k rated.

What does IP65/68 mean?

I guess the title is quite straightforward. The gsmarena and the box itself show "IP65/68" and it confuses me a bit. Is it 65 or 68 or something else?

It means it has both certificates: IP65 and IP68.

But 68 has the 65's characteristics already included, why bother pointing it out?

Could be that they went first for the IP65, then tried 68. I can't find official information.

Neither can I. I just want to find out to what extent is my phone officially waterproof.

It's officially ip68. I've dipped mine in water a couple of times. No damage.

No it doesn't.
IP6x is dust protected.
IPX5 is protected against low power spray.
IPX8 is protected against immersion.
You can be priced against immersion but not spray, or protected against spray and not immersion. The system doesn't mean you are protected against everything that has a smaller number.

So you can damage an IP68 phone with a low pressure spray?

Yes, water sprayed into a Port for example can damage it do to higher pressures exerted on the Port then static immersion.

Well. So this phone is quite bath/pool safe.

How much do you know about the waterproof function of mobile phones?

Some people have misunderstandings about the waterproof function of mobile phones. They think that if the phone has a waterproof function, water will not enter the phone. This is not the case.
Waterproof rating is 0-8.
IPX-1：Protection against vertically dripping water
IPX-2：Protection against vertically dripping water when device is tilted at an angle up to 15 degrees
IPX-3：Protection against direct sprays of water when device is tilted at an angle up to 60 degrees
IPX-4：Protection from sprays and splashing of water in all directions.
IPX-5：Protection from low-pressure water projected from a nozzle with a 6.3mm diameter opening in any direction
IPX-6：Protection from water projected in powerful jets from a nozzle with a 12.5mm diameter opening in any direction
IPX-7：Protected from immersion in water with a depth of up to 1 meter (or 3.3 feet) for up to 30 minutes
IPX-8：Protected from immersion in water with a depth of more than 1 meter (manufacturer must specify exact depth)
The phone supports waterproof but not professional waterproof, it is splash-proof and water-resistant. The mobile phone has reached the standard waterproof level at the factory, but it is not permanent. The bumping, squeezing, falling, etc. in daily life may damage the waterproof membrane and reduce the waterproof ability.
Therefore, it is recommended to avoid contact with the water source during normal use. If your mobile phone does not support waterproof function, you need to pay more attention.

Like your thread.

I have never water damaged a phone which is ip68 and I use them in water a lot. These are just bad manufacturers excuses. As long as you wash the phone off with fresh water and allow to dry properly before charging (and don't buy Sony phones), you're good to go.

Calling it waterproof all the time won't help your point here mate ? it's *water resistant you'll want to put instead.
