My Apple Watch stopped working after showering (ironically it was completely fine after my one hour swimming practice just prior to the shower). The watch should be able to handle showering so I’m surprised that it broke. Do I just toss it in the bin or is there something I can do?
Like all water resistance watches it’s water resistant until it’s not and one only knows this when it stops working. As long as one looks after AW by not dropping it or subjecting it to certain substances (as defined by Apple) or environmental conditions (again defined by Apple) then there is a good chance it will still be water resistant after many years. But this is not guaranteed to be the case as the seals will degrade over time anyway. Just a fact of “water resistant” products and very unsatisfactory for us consumers.
