Hello Kona-Kros,


Great question! Learn more about this awesome watch here: Apple Watch Series 8. It explains: "Apple Watch is rated water resistant 50 meters. Perfect for swimming, surfing, or water balloon fights."


At the bottom of the page, it gives more detail on the water resistance:

"Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE 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. Water resistance is not a permanent condition and can diminish over time. For additional information see About Apple Watch water resistance. Series 8 is also rated IP6X dust resistant."


Let us know if we can help with anything else at all or if this doesn't settle your issue so we can look into this further with you. Thanks and have a fabulous day!
