You might be able to, but Swordmaker has the details on that. I’ve pinged him. He has the exact details on that. I do know it can get rained on or used in the shower. I don’t know about swimming, though. He’ll get back to you ... :-) ...
And to Swordmaker ... I know you posted info on it before, but I don’t know where that’s at, so if you would please weigh in here. Thanks.
Nothing will save Satan Star Traveler. Give it up.
They’re water resistant, like splashing or rain or sweat when working out but they aren’t supposed to be submerged in water. I’ll likely take mine off to take a shower. :-)
My order went in at 12:05am on the 10th.
I haven’t worn a watch in years either. But I’m not getting it because I need a watch. Its main function is as an extension of the phone that’s instantly and quickly there all the time. The phone can stay in my pocket or briefcase more of the time. What I’m looking forward to most are things like:
- quick glance at incoming messages/email
- quick answer calls
- Apple Pay (since I still have a 5s, need the watch to do it)
- exercise data, stopwatch, heart rate tracking ALL DAY (very cool for me)
- music remote
- camera remote
- map directions
Those are things I’m sure I’ll use many times every day without needing to fish for the phone and unlock it yet again. And it’s all stuff that is perfect for a small device on my wrist. And... It’s a watch too. :-)
But there’ll be all sorts of groovy apps that will be fun. Looking forward to it. They’re going to sell a gazillion of these things.
I got the cheaper sport model, mainly because I know it’s only for a year, maybe two, and the next generations will be better. They’ll be thinner and lighter. I’m expecting more sensors for health data, like blood pressure. Probably some day they’ll even have a way to give me blood chemistry data too. Who knows?
No, you cannot go swimming or take a bath wearing the Apple Watch, but you can wash your hands, and Apple Watch users, including Tim Cook, say they have taken showers with one on. It is water resistant to a certain degree but not for immersion. There is a data port underneath one side of the band slot that is not sealed.
