Q: Okay to rinse?
Does this mean that it is okay to rinse my Apple Watch Sport under running water after exercising or might that damage it (e.g. damage the microphone or speaker)?

Yes. you can run it under water at the sink. The reason that a shower is not recommended is that the pressure of the stream may push through the mesh around the speaker or microphone. The same danger is present at the sink, but as long as you don't have the pressure up high it's not a problem. In that article, it specifically states that the crown side of the device face the stream of water. I wouldn't recommend facing the mesh towards it, but a low intensity running faucet shouldn't be a danger.
