The Moto Watch 120 is designed to handle everyday dust and water exposure with its IP68 rating. This means the device can withstand dust ingress and submersion in water up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) for 30 minutes. However, it is not waterproof and should not be exposed to high-pressure water or extreme conditions.

IP68 Rating Explained

• IP stands for Ingress Protection, which indicates how well a device resists dust and water.

• The first digit (6) = complete protection from dust.

• The second digit (8) = protection against temporary water immersion.

Specific Protection Offered

Dust Protection (6):
Your Moto Watch 120 is fully sealed against dust. Dirt, sand, or debris cannot enter the device, ensuring long-term reliability.

Water Protection (8):
The watch can be submerged in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes, making it suitable for rain, handwashing, or swimming in shallow water.

Important: The Moto Watch 120 Is Not Waterproof

Although resistant, the watch is not designed for prolonged or high-pressure water exposure. To maintain its protection, avoid:

• Drops or Hard Impacts: Physical shock can damage seals and reduce water resistance.

• Soap or Soapy Water: Avoid showers or dishwashing, as soap can degrade seals.

• Chemicals: Keep away from perfumes, insect repellents, solvents, oils, lotions, and dyes.

• High-Velocity Water Sports: Activities like jet skiing or water skiing can force water inside.

• Steam Rooms or Saunas: High heat (above 55°C / 130°F) can affect seals and components.

After Water Exposure

1. Dry the Watch Thoroughly:
   Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth and remove any moisture from crevices.
   Do not use heat sources to dry.

2. Ensure It’s Dry Before Charging:
   Never charge when wet — moisture in the charging port can damage the watch or charger.

3. After Saltwater or Sweat Exposure:

   • Rinse gently with fresh water and dry completely after ocean swimming.

   • Wipe clean after workouts to prevent corrosion from sweat.

Key Takeaways

• Water Resistant, Not Waterproof: Handles 1.5 m depth for 30 minutes.

• Avoid Soaps, Chemicals, and High Heat: These degrade seals and materials.

• Dry Before Charging: Always remove moisture first.

• No High-Speed Water Sports: Avoid water impact or pressure.

By following these guidelines, you can maintain your Moto Watch 120’s durability, performance, and lifespan.
