Why advertise something is water proof and can be used for swimming etc when clearly it cannot

Nowhere does Apple claim the Watch is waterproof, they accurately state it is water resistant but keep in mind water resistance fades over time. Before it got wet did you lock it and then eject the water afterwards?
