It has also been put through a waterproof test by being submerged into the water at depths up to 1.5m for 35 minutes. Other tests include the vibration and tumble tests that all Cat phones are put through. The device can also withstand extreme temperatures and thermal shocks. You can take it literally anywhere and it will survive in situations even where you can’t. It’s built tough to help you thrive in challenging outdoor work situations and extreme leisure pursuits alike.
