The company say it offers military-grade water resistance of up to 50 meters, making it an ideal companion for swimmers as well as sprinters.

Thanks to features like water and caffeine intake recording and auto sleep tracking, our new range of wearables are designed to help Australians bring balance to their lives,” said Garry McGregor, Director for IT and Mobile at Samsung Electronics Australia.
