What is the water resistance, if any, of the SE (2nd generation) watch?
I use a home pool with the usual chemicals, especially chlorine, added weekly. Is my Apple watch immune to the chlorine and pool water? Thanks.

I think that it can be. Chlorine itself is very corrosive. There are certainly folks who have posted here that their watch stopped working after swimming in a pool. But also some have reported the same incident after swimming in the ocean.
Additionally, there is the possibility that other situations could damage the seals in the watch and then going swimming with it finishes it off.
Thank you for the helpful response.
Is chlorinated pool water one of those corrosive substances to the Apple watch?
