splashproof

Won't mind wetness

Splashproof describes something designed to resist damage from water splashes but not full immersion.

A splashproof watch survives rain or handwashing but shouldn't go swimming.

The term sits below waterproof in the hierarchy of water resistance: The speaker is splashproof, so don't worry about using it by the pool.
