Diving depth - ish.
That 50m is static pressure. Don't expect to actually dive to 50m and have your Apple Watch survive.
The reality of "50m waterproof" is that if you swim with it (pools, maybe a few meters below the surface), most of the time it'll be OK.
- agumonkey 10y agoI've read that the depth thing is also double edged, in that some device aren't sealed enough at 0m and benefit from having a bit of pressure around to tighten things. So a 50m certified thing can leak in if washed under your bathroom tap. ps: I'm really dubious about the post swim clean idea, I hope they took minerals and chemical floating (chlorine and whatnot) in their simulation, otherwise that speaker membrane will come with free sound effects over time.
