There are plenty of YouTube videos demonstrating the Apple Watch under water. Some even test it taking a shower. So, for most accidental water contact, the Apple Watch is safe. However, I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;d suggest wearing it swimming on purpose. The reason? Apple doesn&#8217;t recommend it. Which, in other words, means that their warranty doesn&#8217;t cover water damage. After all, how would they know if it was under water for 30 minutes or two hours?
