Hi all,
I've recently noticed that if I wear the watch during shower (as Tim Cook said he also does...) - the shower time adds about 8 minutes of "exercise" to my activity stats. I can constantly reproduce it and it's very annoying.
Did anyone else notice that?
Thanks
Hi
You should not wear Apple Watch in the shower.
Your watch is splash and water resistant but it is not waterproof. You can, for example, wear and use Apple Watch during exercise, in the rain, and while washing your hands. Submerging Apple Watch, however, is not recommended. The watch should also be dried if it gets wet.
Apple specifically advises, for example, that the following may affect the water resistance of Apple Watch and should be avoided:
Water resistance is not a permanent condition and Apple Watch cannot be rechecked or resealed for water resistance.
More information:
Anytime you are engaged in an activity that results in rapidly moving your arms will trigger additions to the exercise time. Showering is a form of exercise in that you are actively moving. But the exercise will be a low level form of exercise. As Jonathan UK posts, "You should not wear Apple Watch in the shower."
Shower is NOT exercise
