Apple

Series 8 have showered with it and timer activated to get moving.

I keep a charger in the bathroom. It's a good time to charge it, since I'm not, like, lifting weights or anything while in there...

I shower with mine on every day. I only take it off to charge it when I'm chilling in bed at night before I go to sleep (then I put it back on so it can track my sleep).

It’s built for swimming

It’s not built for hot water and soap

I don’t mix my gadgets with steam.. even ‘water resistant’ ones.

I have never taken mine into the shower. It would feel weird to me. I usually place it on a charger while I am showering.

Series 8 have showered with it and timer activated to get moving.

i think people who want to shower with it on should shower with it on and people who don’t want to shower with it on should not shower with it on

Apparently exposure to soap has the potential for degrading the seal over time, so I usually try not to though I have done it at times.

I’ve showered daily, used my hot tub and pool at least daily with my series 4 since I bought it new. Never had an issue but had an unrelated small scratch on the screen

I do not, only because I have the nylon "Sport Loop" band which stays wet too long for my comfort.

I shower with it 2 out of 3 days. The 3rd day, I put it on the charger for a little bit. The only time I don’t is if I am using a nylon band. It dries quickly but I’d rather not wait and just take it off.

I swim nearly every morning and take long hot showers daily. Have for years. Nothing ever happened to my watch. This comment section is the first time I’ve ever heard people say hot water and shampoo could damage

Yeah I shower with my Apple Watch too, helps me keep track of time (I mean it is a watch lol)

I do not. I put it on the charger before I shower and then while I dry my hair and by the time I'm ready to go to bed I pop it back on.

I get loud noise notifications

I stopped wearing it

I wear mine in the pool, but charge it when I’m in the shower

I know it's IP68 certified, but I still don't take unnecessary risks and being in a hot and steamy environment with other chemicals seems risky to me. If I'm going to be around a bunch of water, the watch stays off my wrist.

I put it on the charger while I’m in the shower.

I’ve owned mine for about 3 years and i’m not risking it anymore. The water seal degrades over time. So now I charge it instead

Just out of curiosity is there anything to measure or any benefit in showering with it? Or you forget you have it on? When do you charge it then?

No but not because of potential damage. The water causes a lot of butt dials and so I ended up singing a lot of songs to my friends (luckily the water didn’t get past the favorites list).

I shower with mine everyday. Rubber style band so I don’t mind. Plus I’m an electrician and it keeps it clean.

I usually charge it while I get ready in the morning, but every few days I will shower with it to clean it

I shower with mine after a mountain bike ride to clean the sweat and grime from the watch and band. So generally a couple times a week.

Showering is when I take it off to charge it, unless I'm getting back from a really sweaty run, in which case I'll shower with it on to give the band (I almost exclusively wear sport loops) a good soap and rinsing.

Take mine off to bath/shower because if the soap. But I do swim either it on because it has swim mode!

i shower with my apple watch every day and it's been fine. it always looks clean and brand new. anyone else shower with it?

No. In the long run water resistancy will diminish. So, you cannot be sure when something bad does happen.

It irritates my skin when my watch band gets wet. I don’t even wash a few dishes with my watch on. How are y’all full on showering with it on? It doesn’t irritate at all?!

Electricity with water, you know how that goes

The one thing to watch out for with the shower is at one point Apple had a disclaimer about high pressure water being bad for the internals. But that's like making the Death Star shot successfully.

First, as others have written-this is when I charge it. And second (and from experience with my Series 4)-it tends to build up impurities from the minerals and the hardness of the water.

Gross bro

Don't.

Does Siri still work on it? It doesn’t work on my Series 7 anymore. I don’t even use a case on it.

ok

I wash the Apple Watch after every workout, but I don't shower with it, I take it off and wash it independently.

I always take my Apple Watch off when I shower.

The soap will ruin it and void warranty

Every time.

I mistakenly washed mine with other clothes in the laundry.It came out nice and clean.

Mine only comes off to go on the charger or if I’m doing something where it may end up smashed. Ocean, hot tub, shower , rain, snow it still works as it did the day I bought it.

You’re living life on the edge. I know they say it’s water resistant but I don’t want to risk it.

I read that soap etc can mess up the sensors so unlike my Tag I never shower with mine. I charge it. 30 mins and we are good for 24 hours and honestly what telemetry is going to be missing?

What watch band do you use? Are some more water proof than others?

I used to do it but now I’m afraid it will break lol.

Same always have (Ultra and Series 6 in the past)

I have a cloth strap. No thanks.

Shower with mine because it helps me get out the door on time. Also a great time to wash the Watch. I usually charge it in the evenings when I get home from working out after work. I put it back on before bed.
