Is Your Apple Watch Waterproof? What You Need To Know

Is Your Apple Watch Waterproof? What You Need To Know

Water-resistant gadgets are usually safe to use with minimal water exposure, and similar limitations apply to using the Apple Watch while taking a shower. Users who have pre-Apple Watch Series 2 models are discouraged from showering while wearing their devices, and those who own newer versions should be fine to do so. However, all Apple Watch wearers are advised not to expose their smartwatches to elements that might negatively affect the water seals and acoustic membranes.
Water-resistance is also not a feature Apple Watches retain throughout their lifespan—this protection diminishes over time and certain events can even hasten the process. For example, regular exposure to bath products, skin products, cleaning solutions, and even acidic foods can affect an Apple Watch’s resistance. High-velocity impacts on the device—certain water sports like water skiing, or dropping it from a height—can also cause water resistance to dwindle. Wearing the Apple Watch in the sauna or steam room should also be avoided. All these instances can cause serious and potentially irreversible issues to the internal makeup of the watch which cannot be rechecked or resealed.

To ensure that the Apple Watch’s resistance to water is prolonged as long as possible, make a habit out of cleaning the device after every workout, especially when there is lots of sweat exposure. Make use of the ‘Water Lock’ feature and drain the watch when applicable. Regularly clean it using only fresh water and rinse the watch when it comes into contact with any other type of liquid or substance. Thoroughly drying the Apple Watch using a non-abrasive and lint-free cloth and not using heat, compressed air, and the like can also help to lengthen the timepiece’s lifespan.
