coinhunterseth Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I don't see any mention of it being waterproof though, which is somewhat disappointing. Hopefully I just missed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Goldman Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Regarding Apex watertight integrity. I suspect it is probably a lot more watertight than Vanquish from the looks of things (including a likely sealed battery compartment) but they probably could not swing a certified 30 min./3 Meter rating for some reason or just didn't want to invest in the cost of testing and certification at this time and will save that for the AT Pinnacle iteration using probably the same housing so that they can justify a higher price point (with actual minimal design cost investment) Apex can probably can survive repeated inadvertent dunkings in a lake, river, or even surf but not continuous submersion which frankly suffices for most everyone but the most hard core water hunter or diver. If the charge port is the weak link, I can see investing in a rubber port stopper to provide some additional insurance in the event of a water drop. Even Vanquish is not technically rainproof without putting on it's included rain slicker. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Garrett Ace Apex Data & Reviews As far as dunking, there is also the 1/8" headphone socket. I agree this is probably more "rain resistant" without an accessory cover than a Vanquish, but not sure it would survive any submersion at all, even a brief dunk, without modification.
