Don’t stress out the next time your Apple Watch<\/span> gets a little wet while washing your hands or if you forget to take it off before jumping into a swimming pool. Granted, Apple’s wearable gadget is an expensive piece of tech, and we’ve been programmed to take extra precautions when it comes to mixing electronics and water. However, Apple designed most Apple Watch models so you don’t even have to worry about getting them wet. In fact, newer Apple Watches can even survive a dip in saltwater. There’s even a fancy water ejection feature that, if I’m being 100% honest with you, is downright fun to use.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are, however, some limits you need to know about. Anything that involves high-pressure water, like water skiing, is a no-go.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Deciphering water resistance and waterproof ratings can be headache-inducing, but we’ve taken on that burden and broken down all of the do’s and don’ts for getting your Apple Watch wet. Below you’ll find what you can and can’t do with your Apple Watch around water.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

If you have a newer Apple Watch, it’s perfectly fine to go for a swim with it on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tEarly Apple Watch models are less water resistant <\/h2>\n

The first-generation Apple Watch — sometimes referred to as Series 0 — and the second-generation Apple Watch, the Series 1, aren’t really made to handle more than the occasional splash.\u00a0Apple does not recommend submerging<\/a> either model at all, as the speaker and microphone can get damaged. (If you’re unsure which model you have, flip your Apple Watch over so you can see the bottom of it. There’s fine print around the sensors which includes the model name.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you do go for a dip with these first Apple Watch models, you’ll need to take the watch off and place it on its side with the speaker facing down. The speaker is on the left side of the housing. This will allow any water inside the cavity to drain out. Do not use a can of compressed air, or any other tool, to remove the water, as you can cause damage. <\/p>\n

\tThese Apple Watch models are designed for swimming <\/h2>\n

As Apple’s approach to the Apple Watch matured, going from an extension of your iPhone<\/span> to a health and fitness device, its capabilities have followed. Newer Apple Watch models are not only waterproof, but they’re specifically designed for swimming. Here’s a complete list of the current Apple Watch models that you can use in the pool without a second thought: <\/p>\n
