For information about Apple Watch 1st generation water resistance, see the following from: Apple Watch (1st generation) - Technical Specifications


footnote 2 - Apple Watch is splash and water resistant but not waterproof. You can, for example, wear and use Apple Watch during exercise, in the rain, and while washing your hands, but submerging Apple Watch is not recommended. Apple Watch has a water resistance rating of IPX7 under IEC standard 60529. The leather bands are not water resistant.
