Yes. It is rated to 100m, which covers swimming and showering. Avoid pressing the chronograph pushers underwater.

How does it compare with a mechanical chronograph?

Our take on the Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Chronograph Watch CA4431-50E

This is a 44mm stainless steel chronograph powered by Citizen's Eco-Drive system, which charges from any light source and never needs a battery change. The 1/5-second chronograph tracks up to 60 minutes, and 100m water resistance covers swimming and daily wear. It suits men who want a sporty, low-maintenance watch without battery swaps. Against battery-powered quartz chronographs it wins on upkeep; against mechanical rivals it trades craftsmanship for accuracy and convenience. The 44mm case and 12.6mm thickness make it a substantial presence on smaller wrists.
