Hi,

I have got just saw this:

and this

Mine default is 1011.
If i make a pressure, it's increasing to 1013 for a sec, than goes down to 1009 for a sec and then show the 1011.
I can get 1014 if i pressure more.
With 2 finger, i can reach 1015-1016.

Is my phone waterproof, or it will be failed?

I know sony warranty does not valid for water problem.

It is better to have the phone tested by your Local support.

I downloaded an app "Weathersignal" whitch can pressure test, and it show the max amount, not need to be to have a super eye.

I got 119 maximum from the 111basic, so maybe mine waterproof too.

I don't think an app can actually test the IP feature as there is a valve that equalizes the pressure.

@SZLevente: well that is a risky move, you can try to see if water entered the protective seals on the flaps by looking for the water damge indicator, it is a very small white strip, if it turns red it mean it may have contact with water ,.
