Swimming with the Apple Watch Series 2

We jumped in the pool to see how the new Apple Watch stacks up as a swim tracker and to take a closer look at the water ejection feature.

is this only for swimming laps? or do you think you can swim w/o doing laps and just randomly swimming around for fun?

I am almost certain I purchased an apple watch series 2, right after they released series 3, software is up to date but I don’t see the waterlock? is that removed or do I have to somehow check the model I have? and if so how do I do it? I checked the apple watch on my phone and also went through settings on the apple watch trying to find out

I have the Apple Watch series 2 and whenever I go swimming it auto locks like normal, but I've noticed after I'm out of the pool my speaker on Apple Watch sounds muffled for awhile, is that normal.

How long should it be in water? Any time limit at all?

[TikiGurl]

Are the refurbished ones safe to put in water??

[LanaLeon]

Is this 42mm or 38mm? thank you so much!

[JoshWalkerr]

Informative video. I wanted to know whether or not you could touch the screen whilst in water mode and whether or not you have to put the watch into water lock to take it in the water. This video answered all my questions. thanks CNET :))

Seriously, I've been swimming with Original Apple Watch and showering no issues.

[TcaphtaeD]

Is it bad that I didn't know you were supposed to turn on the water icon first before exposing it to water?

[TJWasiuk]

How comfortable is it while swimming though?

[XellosMetallium]

at first i was looking at the nike edition. but is all serie 2 waterproof and gps built-in?

[prestong]

Apple should recall the series1 and add the water proofing and gps because they should had done that the 1st time

[MiriLOVESmakeup]

What if you used it in the shower made a phone call but didn’t know you had to activate he water lock?? 😳

[AssetK]

Mine doesn't have the speaker clearer but it is series 2

[xuongphung]

Is it possible with public pool because there are some cleaning chemical

[rclife]

Do you have to press the water lock mode before you enter the water? What if you got pushed into the water and you haven't pressed the water lock mode. Wiil the watch damage?

[hollymolly]
