Is the 46mm Apple Watch Series 11 water-resistant?
Is the series 11 watch 46mm Water resistant
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
Original Title: 46mm Series 11
Apple Watch Series 11 Tech Specs:
14: Apple Watch Series 11 has a water resistance rating of 50 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means that it may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. Apple Watch Series 11 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 support.apple.com/109522.
15: Apple Watch Series 11 is rated IP6X dust resistant.

Wikipedia: An indication of the test pressure in terms of water depth does not mean a water-resistant watch was designed for repeated long-term use in such water depths. For example, a watch marked 30 metres water resistant cannot be expected to withstand activity for longer time periods in a swimming pool, let alone continue to function at 30 metres under water. This is because the test is conducted only once using static pressure on a sample of newly manufactured watches. As only a small sample is tested, there is a small likelihood that any individual watch is not water resistant to the certified depth or even at all.
And also from Wikipedia, watches rated 200 meters (and less) are “Not suitable for diving.”
Note however, Apple indicates their Ultra series is suitable for shallow diving up to 40 meters.
