If i have the series 2 apple watch and i want to go swimming or take a shower with it do i have to set it to the swim workout setting or will it automatically be waterproof?
Apple Watch Series 2
Hi
Apple Watch Series 2 remains equally water resistant regardless of whether or not Water Lock is turned on.
Planned water exposure (except swimming workouts)
If you plan to get Apple Watch Series 2 wet under other circumstances than a swimming workout (such as during general wear in a pool or when showering), you can manually turn on Water Lock first (to prevent accidental screen interactions) and then turn it off again afterwards, which also clears any water from inside the speaker:
Swimming workouts
Starting a swimming workout in the Workout app on Apple Watch Series 2 models automatically enables Water Lock, which locks the screen to prevent accidental interactions during your workout. To finish your workout and expel any water:
Accidental / other exposure to water
If the watch is exposed to water accidentally at any time or if you forget to enable it before planned exposure to water, Water Lock can be enabled afterwards and then immediately turned off again to expel any water from inside the speaker (by following the same steps as above).
After swimming or exposing it to anything other than fresh water, be sure to clean your Apple Watch Series 2 by gently rinsing it with warm tap water. The watch and band should also then be dried using a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth.
