Let Them Know They Can Go Deeper with Advanced GORE® Pressure Vents
Changes in temperature or depth can create a pressure differential between the external environment and a device’s interior. This can weaken its gaskets and seals, ultimately lowering the device’s resistance to leaks. Pressure buildup can also affect speakers or pressure sensors, reducing acoustic quality and damaging the transducers. The latest GORE® Pressure Vent overcomes these challenges, allowing smartwatch users to dive to a depth of 100 meters for 15 minutes.
Let Them Know They Can Discover New Worlds with Premium GORE® Acoustic Vents
Reliable water resistance typically involves a reduction in audio quality. As the leading provider of acoustic vents, Gore has successfully resolved the trade-off between water resistance and enhanced audio quality. Now smartwatch users can enjoy water resistance to a depth of 100 meters for 15 minutes and still receive crystal-clear sound from their device afterward.
