    User-replaceable battery, acceptable size and water resistance, smart watch features; you can pick two. I’m not saying that’s okay, I’m saying that’s physics.

    How is that physics?

    LG G Watch R had all three. I doubt LG can bend the laws of physics.

      Quick side question, would you go swimming with your phone in your pocket? Your answer (and mine) is probably not, right?

      The LG G Watch R had a rating of IP67, which is less waterproof than current phones. That is to say, no, it’s not effectively waterproof.

        I did swim with my previous phone multiple times. There is no reason not to. Until my screen was cracked and I didn’t realize it until it was too late (tiny fracture). There is no reason to fear swimming with IP68 (most phones are actually rated for > than 1m) rated phones unless front or back is cracked.
