Apple Watch Series 7 Scuba Diving?

On the support page, it says up through Series 6 you shouldn't take the watch Scuba diving. This one is rated to 50 meters. Can this be used while scuba diving to 100ft for example?

The footnotes in the Series 7 page are very clear:


https://www.apple.com/apple-watch-series-7/

Apple Watch Series 7, Apple Watch SE, and Apple Watch Series 3 have a water resistance rating of 50 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means that they may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. However, they should not be used for scuba diving, waterskiing, or other activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depth.

About Apple Watch water resistance - Apple Support

Be aware that water resistance isn't a permanent condition and may diminish over time.


The series 7 watch just came out today. According to;

https://www.apple.com/apple-watch-series-7/

The series 7 is swimproof with WR50 water resistance. But I believe the same limitations apply. (I may be wrong.)
