I’m just curious if anybody swim’s or showers with their watch on, due to possibility of voiding warranty with water damage. I know they have the water mode 💧but if for some reason if the watch quit working due to water damage how would that work.
Hello. I personally don't. Apple recommends you don't expose your Apple Watch to soap and shampoos as detailed here. I prefer to be on the safe side.

Also I have yet to purchase my new watch yet I still have a series 2 that isn’t waterproof or water resistance so I’m just also curious if any of the watch models have better water resistance than another model or are they about the same.
I have had a Watch 2 and 6 and swim and casually shower (after swimming) with it on with no problems. The Watch 2 IS water resistant and has the swimming mode in it so it can be used in the water. The water mode (drip icon) has two functions: one is to lock the screen so any casual contact does not launch or change a setting while in the water, and (when you scroll the crown) emits a sound from the speaker to help clear any moisture on/near there when you are out of the pool/shower. The main caveat when showering is to not forcibly direct any water into the speaker or microphone and to not get excessive soap/shampoo in those same holes. The only issues I have noticed is that sometimes after being in the water the speaker is muffled or the microphone does not work (Siri unresponsive), but those clear up after it all dries out. Also, I regularly run the watch under a faucet after I run and don't have any issues from that use.
Thank you!
no, don't see the point, I need to clean the wrist under the watch too, and have a leather band which would be unconfutable to wear if wet.
cool 👍 the real point is I wanted my Apple Watch specialty to increase since we have to start discussions to do that I did. Thank you for your educated answer.
Just curious do you shower with your Apple Watch on?
