See the 'Can I go scuba diving, swimming, or take a shower with my Apple Watch?' section in:

About Apple Watch water resistance - Apple Support


Personally, I believe that electronics and water don't mix, no matter what is stated. In fact, (according to Apple in the same link above) "Water resistance isn't a permanent condition and can diminish over time. Apple Watch can't be rechecked or resealed for water resistance." Furthermore, you take the risk of getting sand inside the watch (through the Digital Crown for example) and further damaging it. But the risk is up to you - just my two cents.
