ALBAWABA - While Apple offers many features in its smartwatch, exposing it to large amounts of water isn't necessarily one of them. It's important to know how to care for your Apple Watch, especially given its high price.
Apple is careful to avoid describing the Apple Watch as "waterproof," instead using the term "water resistant," which means it's water-resistant but not completely impervious to water.
Apple Watch Series 2 and later, and the Apple Watch SE, can withstand a fair amount of water, but it may be best to remove them before contact with water, according to a report by BGR, a technology news website, reviewed by Al Arabiya Business.

The Ultra series will be much better for water activities, but it's also important to note that any Apple Watch's water resistance may decrease over time. Knowing the water resistance of your Apple Watch can help extend the device's lifespan.
The Apple Watch won't be 100% water-resistant, but it does have a high degree of water resistance, and that's a crucial distinction.
While the first Apple Watch was only splash-resistant, withstanding only brief contact with water, Apple Watches from Series 2 onwards have a water resistance rating of 50 meters (about 164 feet) according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
