And nothing bad has ever happened to it. It looks brand new and is always clean. Does anyone not shower with it?

    I have to take it off to charge some time. Best time is when it would be in my way scrubbing my skin

    I do not. I put it on the charger before I shower and then while I dry my hair and by the time I’m ready to go to bed I pop it back on.

    Mine only comes off to go on the charger or if I’m doing something where it may end up smashed. Ocean, hot tub, shower , rain, snow it still works as it did the day I bought it.

    I’ve been showering with my Apple watches for years (sounds dirty, it’s not 🙃). Series 2, 6 and 7. Never had any problems with them.

    I’ve also been swimming with them several times. It even has a swimming activity in the workouts app, so it should be fine as long as your watch isn’t damaged.

    I have to shower with my watch on (Ultra), if not I’ll be in the shower too long pretending I’m Aqua Man

    I did the same for years, until my S6 must have finally had moisture intrude into the power button.

    Know what that does? It calls 911 - repeatedly.

    I thought it dried out days later, charged it back up, and still wanted to call 911.

    I now wear a S8 and won’t shower with it.

    Have been showering with my Apple Watch 5 for 3.5 years now. Just make sure to mostly get water on the Apple Watch and it will be fine.

    I rinse my watch under the sink (with or without the bands) and then wipe it dry with my bath towel. Am I doing it wrong?

    If you say no, I’m going to block you anyway.

    I’ve bathed (shower/bath), swam in pools and the ocean, soaked in a hot tub, gardened, covered in mud, got various chemicals, etc on my launch day SS AW S7 and it looks and functions like brand new after two years.
