Can I swim with the nylon strap on the Series 2 watch or must I use the sport band?

I'm not clear if only the sport band can be used when I swim with the Apple Series 2 watch.

Hi


Apple advises that the following bands are not water resistant, so should not be worn when swimming:


  • Leather (Classic Buckle, Leather Loop, Modern Buckle, Apple Watch Hermès leather bands).
  • Milanese Loop.
  • Link Bracelet.


You may find that the Woven Nylon Band, being made of fabric, absorbs some water when swimming and takes a little while to fully dry out afterwards.


The Sport Band can be cleaned and fully dried immediately after swimming.
