can I shower with my apple watch on?

About Apple Watch water resistance - Apple Support
The Shower is a bad idea, as you tend to use soap in the shower, and that can weaken the seals and allow water inside the Apple Watch.
I also have a series 4. I think it is old enough that seals may have weakened by now so I personally would not shower with it on. There is a big difference between water ‘resistant’ and water ‘proof’. Just my opinion.
When theWatch was introduced Tim Cook famously said he showered with his. I think the water resistance was overhyped and people bought into it with varying results.
Can I wear my series 4 Apple Watch in the shower?
