Apple Watch owner , always been indestructible, especially the ultra
- TylerE 2mo ago1st gen is 1P7X, and 2nd gen and later are certified to depths of at least 50m. Way beyond IP5X.
- microtonal 2mo agoSame for most Garmins (Fenix 8 even has inductive buttons to avoid worn-down seals), Coros, and recent Galaxy Watches (the way beyond IP5X part). Note though that all these watches are water resistant, the seals degrade over time and water can get in. Even the Apple Watch Ultra, plenty of people who had it leaking after scuba dives or even after swimming. You can usually improve longetivity by following manufacturer instructions (e.g. typically rinsing with tap water after pool or sea use, avoiding saunas/steam baths, etc.).
- PlotCitizen 2mo agoGot an SE 2 a year ago to track my daily swimming in the sea and it's been working great.
- wincy 2mo agoMy first (and the original) Apple Watch, I won at the company Christmas party. My kid dropped it in the tree sap water under the Christmas tree and I didn’t find it for two days. After a lot of cleaning, it worked perfectly fine for years. I’m on the series 10 now. They’re very tough little devices.
- black3r 2mo agomy first apple watch (6th gen) died when I was using it on a water slide ending in a pool on a holiday... since then I'm wary of using it in water...
- tomaskafka 2mo agoNot at all. 2.5 year old Apple Watch, glue gave up after warm pool in aquapark (40 deg Celsius), water got in, dead.
