Nothing Says CMF Watch Pro 2 and 3 Pro Carry IP68, Not Waterproofing

Summary
Nothing says the CMF Watch Pro 2 and newer Watch 3 Pro are IP68-rated for water and dust resistance, but neither is marketed as waterproof.
IP68 means the watches are fully dust-tight and certified for limited freshwater exposure under controlled conditions, which is why Nothing advises against swimming, showering, saunas and other steam-heavy use.
Real-world testing of the earlier CMF Watch Pro showed it surviving 30 minutes underwater, but Nothing says that does not override its official usage limits.
The distinction matters because water resistance can degrade with normal wear, leaving the budget watches suited to rain, sweat and splashes rather than pool or open-water workouts.
