False ...
Reptile eggs can be placed on land, and baby reptiles need no need for water except to drink. However, amphibian eggs need to be placed in water, and some baby amphibians need to live in water until the become adults.
Reptiles- turtles, snakes, crocodiles, and lizards
Amphibians- toads, frog, salamanders, and caecilians

Depends on your reptile!
There are plenty of reptiles that spend none of their lives in water. These are the lizards and snakes of semi-arid regions.
On the other hand are the sea turtles, which come ashore only to lay eggs.

Depends on your amphibian!
There are plenty of amphibians that go into water only for purposes of reproduction, and as larvae. Toads, in the wild, like to have a nice moist burrow, but will sit in water only in the spring breeding season (much less than half their lives). The tadpole portion of their lives lasts only a few months. Toads live for years, so, again, it's much less than half their lives.
On the other hand are some of the aquatic salamanders, which spend all their lives in the water.

You're thinking of amphibians. Amphibians lay their eggs in water and live in water while they're babies. Reptiles lay their eggs on land, although some might live in water after they have hatched (like alligators).
Some other differences between reptiles and amphibians are that amphibians have skin while reptiles have scales, and amphibians undergo metamorphosis (like turning from tadpole into frog) while reptiles don't.

False ... Amphibians need to live near water much more than reptiles since reptilian skin is thick and water-resistant (it can hold water as well as keep water out). Since amphibian skin needs to be kept moist and soft for their survival, amphibians must stay near water for survival. Reptiles can survive in desert conditions (Gila Monsters for example), urban locatons (Green Anoles as another example), as well as estuarine environments (Alligators and Crocodiles).

amphibians may spend half their lives in water.
