Default How waterproof are the V50 Keys?

I can confirm after falling out of a kayak at the weekend they seem ok to be submerged for 30 seconds....

All functions currently in working order

Is that in line with what is expected or is it likely to stop working in a few days?

Salt or Fresh water?

If fresh might be ok.
If it was mine I would at least have a check inside and if it was salt water would definitely have a look inside
Mine is for a 2005 (so fairly expensive to replace) and only kayak in the sea so always keep mine in a waterproof bag.

Fresh water.

I'm sure its googleable but any tips on opening it up?

Now my criteria for the mobile phone includes it being IP68 waterproof.

Also looking at otterbox type waterproof boxes for Keys wallet etc. Had a drybag be not so dry in the past (probs user error) so prefer a tub or similar.
