The Apple Watch is water resistant, not waterproof

One of the small details the company neglected to mention during the Apple Watchwas the new watch's water resistance. While the Apple Watch is designed to be on your wrist all day, it's not suitable for all situations.

It turns out that the Apple Watch will be fine with a little water, but don't wear it while swimming

Reporter David Pogue learned a few things about the new Apple Watch in a private briefing during the press conference. Apple told him that the watch is “water resistant,” but not waterproof. “Sweating, wearing it in the rain, washing your hands in it, or cooking in it, is fine. However, you should take it off when you go swimming or before showering.”.
