You know, when you hang out with David.
Pivot!
Yes, you know after you're schwitzing from building shelfs with Sean Connery.
i swam with my series 7 in the mediterranean sea (extremely salty) about 20 times with zero problems. i rinsed the watch in clean water afterwards just as apple recommended as well
swimming in fresh water is fine. you'll want to use the 'water lock' feature to disable the touch screen, some people have the misconception that that feature somehow makes the watch water-proof or more water-resistant than when it's off, but all it does is disable the touchscreen, and then when you turn it off, it'll try to eject any water that got inside the watch.
keep in mind that you may not get heart-rate readings during swimming workouts, though, and that apple's warranty won't cover any damage resulting from water even if they do make claims of the product's water resistance
Many miles of laps wearing my 5 and now my 9. An occasional scuba dive with the 5 (70β FSW)
Do NOT do it. Mine was dead (no touchscreen, lagβ¦) for a week after a few days of swimming (pool and sea).
I donβt even wear it in the shower now.
I donβt understand.
