Hello,
I've juste received my new Apple watch series 2 and I was wondering if I can bring it into a hot tub (Jacuzzi). Also, when I go into water, do I have to activate something on the watch to ensure it is waterproof? I mean if i forget, I will have to think to remove water with the speaker system right?
Thank You
No. It's too warm. Swimming only.
Average temp in a hot tub is about 102°. That would ruin your watch.
The hot temperature will be a problem as Carolyn mentioned, and the steam in the hot tub as well.
See this help page on handling information:
Hi
Apple Watch is designed to work best in ambient temperatures between 32° to 95° F (0° and 35° C):
Keep Apple Watch within acceptable operating temperatures - Apple Support
Apple advises that it should not be used in environments such as a sauna or steam room.
When planning to get Apple Watch Series 2 wet, you can manually lock the screen first and then clear water from the speaker afterwards:
If you forget to enable Water Lock beforehand, the watch remains water resistant and the watch can be locked and immediately unlocked after water exposure in order to expel any water from the speaker.
After exposing the watch to anything other than fresh water, be sure to clean your watch by gently rinsing it with warm tap water. The watch and band should be dried using a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth.
Note that leather and stainless steel bands (Milanese Loop and Link Bracelet) are not water resistant, so should not be submerged in water.
