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 so obvious. I cannot believe how well it worked. Thank you for posting this.

Thank you so much!!! I was sick all day and decided to wash all the bedding to get rid of any germs. Unfortunately the watch was in the bedding and went through the washing machine. Everything worked great but the speakers were really quiet. Fortunately blowing some compressed air did the trick. Next time I'm sick the watch will stay on the charger. Bright side my watch smells April fresh.

Apple expressly advises against using compressed air when cleaning or drying Apple Watch:

"Compressed air .. can cause damage".

- Cleaning and wearing Apple Watch - Apple Support

"Don’t use .. compressed air when cleaning your Apple Watch".
