If you are an owner of Apple Watch, you might wonder if it is waterproof or not. Well, the good news is that some Apple Watch models are waterproof, but not all. In this blog post, we will be discussing the Apple Watch Series 6 and its waterproof capabilities.
First of all, if you have the Apple Watch series 0 or 1, it is not waterproof, but rather water-resistant. Although it can withstand water to some extent, it is not recommended to wear it while swimming or in water for a long time. However, if you have Apple Watch Series 2 and up, including the Series 3, 4, 5, and 6, these models are waterproof. You can swim, take a shower, or even dive up to 50 meters underwater without worrying about damaging your device.
But what about the Apple Watch bands? The sports, nylon, and braided loop bands are waterproof and will dry quickly, but leather and steel bands are not. It’s recommended to remove them before exposing your watch to water.
It is important to note that while your Apple Watch is waterproof, it’s not recommended to expose it to soap, shampoo, or other beauty products. These products can damage the water seal and compromise the watch’s waterproof capabilities.
If you plan to use your Apple Watch while swimming or diving, it’s recommended to use the water lock mode. This mode locks your watch screen, preventing accidental taps or calls while in water. You can activate this mode by swiping up from the control center and tapping on the water lock icon.
Finally, if your Apple Watch is cracked or scratched, it is not recommended to wear it while swimming or diving. Water can easily penetrate the damaged areas and damage the device.
In conclusion, if you have the Apple Watch Series 6, you can wear it underwater and in the shower without any worries. Just make sure to follow the guidelines mentioned above to keep your device in top condition.
