Who has an Apple Watch?

[ReefQueen]

Hey guys, it’s been a while. I hope everyone’s tanks are doing well. Does anyone here have an Apple Watch and keep it on during tank maintenance? I always take it off if my hands go in the tank, but I am wondering if I need to? I understand that they have the ability to go in water but I am not sure if that applies to saltwater as well.

In and out of my tank all the time.


As a bit of “evidence” I recall Apple advertised a surfer using their Apple Watch with cellular while bobbing in the ocean.

I did not see that ad, I wonder if we have any surfers here who can attest to them holding up while getting bashed around by waves lol. Also, hold the phone...I think I have been wearing my watch upside down lol. I never thought to switch it so the crown was further away from my hand because I am always making Siri ask what she can help me with from bending my wrist haha.

So while you are out do you use the water eject feature periodically, after, or not at all?

Lol. Yea. I used to do the same thing so I flipped it. No more random screenshots or crown digging into my hand when I work out.

I flipped it! This way makes so much more sense too because you can use your thumb to press the buttons instead of your pointer finger. Idk how I never thought of that before! I sent this pic to my husband telling him to switch his too lol. I’m still nervous so I’m going to keep it on for my WC this weekend, it’ll be a good test for me before I start working at the LFS where it will be submerged a lot more often lol.
