After launching the very successful low-priced Flagship smartphone the UMIDIGI F2 UMIDIGI launched another FlagShip this year, the new sports smartwatch series Uwatch GT. The watch will be available globally at a discounted price of $39.99 on November 28, Thanksgiving.
The highlight feature of the Uwatch GT is the 5ATM water resistance level, But what exactly it does? And what makes ATM water resistance ratings different from other kinds of evaluation standards, such as IP ratings? Let,s find out.
Ingress Protection (IP) rating is already common to use in the mobile industry. For example, the latest iPhone 11 Pro supports IP68, a high level to protect against water and dust. But IP ratings do not take water pressure into account. Therefore, IP ratings are not indicative of a device’s ability to be used during aquatic activities such as swimming. That’s why ATM is here.
The ATM water resistance rating is the one you’ll find on regular mechanical and battery-driven watches and that you’ll most likely to find on new wearables products. The pressure tests are measured in ATMs, which stands for atmospheres, and are converted to water depth to make the measurements easier to learn.
One ATM is equivalent to the static pressure exerted by static submersion in 10 meters of water. The higher the ATM rating, the deeper the product can go without being affected, as deeper water exerts more pressure. The basic ATM water-resistance levels are described below.
With a water resistance rating of 5 ATM, UMIDIGI Uwatch GT is resistant to pressure at a depth of 50 meters, meaning the watch can not only stand up to the rain but can also be worn during shallow-water activities, like swimming.
UMIDIGI Uwatch GT will start global sales at a discounted price of $39.99 from 28th November, and the promotion will last until the end of Cyber Monday sales.
