Is the iwatch series 2 always waterproof

Hello,


so weird question I know that the iwatch series 2 is waterproof but is it always waterproof. There is a water option to put the watch in to, but if I was to say fall into a river would it be safe If I didn't put it in the waterproof Mode first? The Apple staff didn't know at both lakeside and Covent Garden so I turn to you!


thanks in advance

Hi


Apple Watch Series 2 is water resistant, not waterproof. The watch's water resistance means that it:


  • May be used for shallow-water activities (eg swimming in a pool or ocean).
  • Should not be used for activities involving submersion below shallow depth or high-velocity water (including scuba diving or waterskiing).


Series 2 models remain water resistant regardless of whether or not you enable Water Lock before exposing them to water.


If your watch gets wet under other circumstances than tracking a swimming workout or than when Water Lock has been turned on beforehand, follow these steps to manually clear water from it:


Swipe up on the bottom of the watch face to open Control Center > tap on Water Lock > turn the Digital Crown to immediately unlock the screen again and to clear any water from inside the speaker.
