My 2-month old Verse Pro got rather dirty, so I have decided to give it a quick rinse. It was supposed to have IPX8 water resistance.
After washing my old PW5 (IPX8) many times I didn’t expect any problems with the Pocketbook. I have swam in pools and in the sea while wearing my Apple Watch (IPX7) countless times. I never take it off when I shower. My iPhone (IP67) regularly gets wet. So what could possibly go wrong with the Verse Pro (IPX8)? I held it under a tap for less than 30 seconds and it no longer turns on. Water damage is obviously not covered by the warranty. I understand that I’m stupid and I shouldn’t have done it, but now I’m giving a warning to everyone else. If you want to buy this particular device because of it’s supposed “waterproofness” then you should look elsewhere. The manufacturer is simply lying about the device's IPX rating.
