Question regarding G4 and Hourglass symbol and?

It's waterproof in the sense that it isn't damaged by water. If you unclip and see the contacts are wet, then they simply need to be dried off. I never had any waterproof issues with 7 or G4. Sometimes I've layered tape over the top side of sensor while showering, but this is mostly to prevent water from getting near the adhesive, so it could stay stuck a little longer. I use my Dexcom while exercising all the time, and while the "???" does happen occasionally, it hasn't been a major issue for me.
