Apple Watch 4 Stainless - Water resistance

I was wondering if the stainless versions of the 4 have any additional adverse effects from water exposure. I would like to be able to wear it while swimming.

Apple Watch stainless steel water resistance Can you go swimming with the stainless steel Apple Watch? I am concerned about rusting. If you can, then why can’t you wear a stainless steel band?

is the Apple Watch generation for really waterresistant as stated by the manufacturer? I recently went splashing around in the most shallowest pool this weekend at a conference this weekend and my watch stopped working. Yes, I did do my research before asking for the purchase ofthe watch to ensure that the apple watch would be safe around water when being used as a sports watch, however that is not the case. I don’t feel that Apple is very forthcoming with honest information in the presentations or the information provided about the Apple Watch in reference to the claimed water resistance up to 50 meters. There is also a swimming option for swimmers on the Apple watch which is also very misleading since it is very sensitive as the iPhones, headphones or most Apple products when it comes to contact with water. Does anyone have any current issues with the generation4 watch in regards to water ? After all the years of using Apple|McIntosh products and knowing the sensitivity level, I was very apprehensive about requesting an Apple Watch for a gift now what’s the honest deal?

Here is what Apple has to say about water resistance......https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205000

I for one would not recommend wearing an Apple watch while swimming or taking a shower. It takes a second to remove the watch and another two seconds to put it on and unlock it with your iPhone or passcode.
