• Is my watch band waterproof or water resistant?

While not all watch bands are explicitly labeled as "waterproof" or "water resistant", there are certain materials and designs that are more resistant to water damage than others. Waterproof bands can be fully submerged in water. Like Silicone, Rubber, Stainless Steel watch bands are obviously waterproof, but leather straps are not. Nylon, canvas or fabric straps, which can absorb water and take longer to dry, are also not typically considered waterproof.
