Sure if you have a Apple Watchespecially the most modern, you know their IP resistancewhich gives you security when wetting it. However, and after much use mine while I take a shower, today has stopped working, but is there a reason related to this act, or was it a coincidence?
Let's see the recommendations and problems that an Apple smart watch can have on certain occasions. We all believe that we can shower with one, however, the brand itself explicitly prohibits it on its website. So what is the use of this alleged resistance that they promise us?
Can an Apple Watch be wet really?
In general terms, we believe that an Apple Watch resists both rain and sweat, as well as immersion within the water up to 1 meter or more, depending on the model. And yes, it is correct, but with nuances, therefore, can an Apple Watch get wet?
First of all, We will not be able to do this if the clock has any brand, scratch or blowsince it would not be completely sealed, and, therefore, the water could penetrate, regardless of whether it has a level of protection or another, so if you are not completely sure of not having aesthetic alterations, it is best not to play it.
Secondly, and going to the case at hand, bathe or shower with him is also prohibitedand we can see it within the standards of use of Apple, since, in doing so, we are not only using clean water, but soap, gel and other products that could damage the clock, since it must be remembered that it has tickets such as speaker or microphone, where it could penetrate.
This can have an impact, especially in the long run, as Apple explains on its website:
Water resistance is not a permanent condition and can decrease over time. Apple Watch cannot be examined or seal again to increase water resistance.
Therefore, if you have an Apple Watch with several years, or that presents brands of use, it is not advisable to use it underwater, even less, like me, bathe every day with it, being able to produce permanent damage.
Luckily he recovered in the minutes, and does not present problems, however, I will not do it again, since because I do not realize, I almost stayed without a clock. I hope you learn from this and at least take it into account. Nothing happens for a day, but it does not become a routine, just not remove it.
Remember that if you bathe with him, or do it in salt water, pool with chlorine, etc., the best is, whenever it is well sealed, Clarify it with fresh watertrying that these substances whether corrosive or harmful to the Apple Watch, the maximum of it are eliminated, assuming that clean water is not harmful to it.
And you, do you bathe with your watch on? Have you had a similar experience? Leave us a comment with your opinion about it.
