Is there an example of a waterproof phone with replaceable battery?

The 2014 Samsung Galaxy S5 had a removable battery and IP67 rating.

Ok so it’s an option, nice.

Not that I'm aware of, but I've lost 0 phones to water and many phones to failing batteries, so I'll take that trade.

All recent Galaxy Xcover phones have both an IP rating and removable batteries.

I have Samsungs Xcover 5. It is IP68, and very user servicable. Toolless battery replacement.
