Apple watch water resistance

If I take a shower with my watch on, for example, and forget to turn the Water Lock on, will it damage the device?

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 7

Quote from apple support page;

Showering with Apple Watch Series 2 and newer is ok, but we recommend not exposing Apple Watch to soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and perfumes as they can negatively affect water seals and acoustic membranes. Apple Watch should be cleaned with fresh water and dried with a lint free-cloth if it comes in contact with anything other than fresh water.


Water lock just prevents accidental screen touches.
