Q: Is anyone else having speaker issues after showering with the watch?
I have had my apple watch replaced once already for muffled sound/speaker issues. I have had my replacement watch back for a few days. I have worn it in the shower 2 times. After I shower my speaker does not work. It takes hours to be able to hear it again. I am considering returning it and getting my money back. It is so expensive and according to the marketing we should be able to wear it in the shower. I can't decide if it is worth the money if I can't wear it in the shower without worrying.

This is all very interesting as I owned a Pebble before the AW and not only showered with it, I did all kinds of water related activities with it. Hard to imagine Apple would charge so much for a piece of hardware that you can't feel comfortable just even washing your hands with. And showering was one of the things I was looking forward to doing with my watch as you can control the phone and send messages while away from the phone. I am very hyper aware of this issue and wonder how long I'll be able to stop taking the watch off for even dishes (i never fill the sink) after so long not caring if whatever watch I had on my wrist got wet or dunked. Specially annoying when you think the sports band is really hard for me to put on LOL! I do have apple care and hopefully I won't have a problem replacing the watch if something goes wrong.
