Is showering a problem for the Apple Watch?

• From the series 2, the Apple Watch is no longer only protected against splashing water, but also water-repellent.
• From version 5, the Apple Watch can even be used for diving, water skiing or similar activities.
• Apple itself, however, advises against bringing the watch into contact with shampoo, soap, hair conditioners or other cosmetic products. Because the chemical components can ensure that the case is visually affected.

Choosing the right material

Since the fourth version of the Apple Watch, you can customize the watch. On earlier models, you can change the bracelets. When doing so, make sure that stainless steel, as well as leather, are not suitable for use with water. Alternativ sollten Sie immer ein Ersatzarmband für den Wassersport bereithalten.
