water temp

[poko21]

I'm looking into an i470tc watch/computer. the manual lists the operating temperatures as "out of the water: 20-140° F" and "in the water: 28-95° F". Since this is also a watch and I'd wear it on vacation does it mean it shouldn't go into a hot tub of 100°+?

Or are those temperatures really just for diving?

My guess is that it's mostly for being immersed in water. Water conducts heat far better than air, so immersing your computer in 95-100+ degree water for long periods while the computer is being heavily taxed could potentially cause it to overheat and shut down to cool off. So yeah you can probably safely wear it in a hot tub as long as you don't have it submerged in the hot water the entire time while forcing it to work hard and generate heat (like if it were in dive mode).
