Yesterday the rumors that circulated on the internet were confirmed after Cook's private statements in Germany, the Apple Watch confirms its resistance to water and splashes, However, we are left with a bittersweet taste knowing that it is not submersible. Therefore we could consider that the Apple Watch is simply resistant to small amounts of water, which does not make us fully trust in wearing it in certain situations.
The Apple Watch offers a water resistance rating IPX7 - IEC 60529, As we have just said, it is waterproof and splash resistant, however it is not submersible. As we read in the Apple Watch section on the official website, you can, for example, do sports with it without fear of sweat leaks, you can dress it calmly during the rain or shower, however it is not advisable to submerge the Apple Watch, since the qualification and warranty does not cover this assumption.
In addition, lThe straps also have their details, and the leather straps are not precisely considered waterproof. We go on to do a little analysis about what the IPX7 rating means:
- IPX7 rated devices can withstand accidental exposure to water of up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
- Indoor / outdoor use in the presence of rain, snow or brief splashes of water.
- Any dive longer than 1 meter, regardless of the duration of the dive, or any dive longer than 30 minutes, regardless of the depth of the dive would harm the system.
In short, as Tim Cook recently said, you can wear your Apple Watch in the shower (unless it has a leather strap), but don't ever enter the pool with it.
Fake is not against water, do not believe
Oh yeah? Do you claim that because you already have it? The source of the information is Apple itself. Anyway…
and what about the shower? Tim claimed that if you could bathe with it, would it be true?
You will have no problem, the IPX7 certification allows light splashes and dives without any problem.
just splashes xDalmenos something hold hahaha
That is not a watch !! A watch has to be manual winding.
Resistant that is not aquatic.
You can get wet but not submerge and hold so many meters under water
better not go into the pool with him ...
By this rule «Casio» does not manufacture watches since they are neither mechanical nor «wind-operated».
better wait for the second edition that resists water since it has to improve a lot even with the time that they have been announcing this moment I do not know how they have been left behind since other brands if they support water less being a watch
Casio watches that are worn so much now, it is not water proof either but it is resistant, and I think it is not even waterproof like this one .. so ...
That was already known from last year's keynote, disappointment and failure….

Well, the truth is that because I was forgetful and careless I already put him in two days in a row, twice each one to swim and nothing happened. The truth is that I did not swim much because I realized it, but I swam crawl, about 10 or 15 meters each time and nothing happened to him. Even the first time I dived a meter or more to get something out and that's when I realized I was carrying it. I will not put it in more, it will have been luck, but it lasted four times several minutes in each one, going down at least 40 or 50 cm below the water - in the strokes - several times.
These sentences are more than just phrases
of love.
