Is the Garmin Vivoactive HR waterproof?

It's similar to the Fitbit Surge, but that's not necessarily a good thing. The watch is big and bulky, and it's not something you would want to wear to the office, let alone a wedding. It's not all bad, though. The Vivoactive HR is waterproof up to 50 meters.
