I once dropped my SE into a pond while I was fishing. I didn’t notice until I actually saw the thing at the bottom of the pond. It was probably down there at least 5 minutes.

I fished it out and it worked completely fine. I don’t think SEs were even marketed as waterproof. They still had the headphone jack, which I think was the weakspot

My SE on the other hand did not survive ~ 5 minute dip into the shallow end of the YMCA pool.

But Xs has been great in this regard. And with this pandemic, I regularly wash it with soap and water.

Chlorine can damage the seals especially of something not actually rated as water resistant. Soap is also a weakness and can cause water to bypass the barrier due to water tension lowering.

I took my iphone 5 with me when I fell into a lake in college. The screen was previously all cracked up too. Worked fine still somehow.
