My Apple Watch stopped working after showering (ironically it was completely fine after my one hour swimming practice just prior to the shower). The watch should be able to handle showering so I’m surprised that it broke. Do I just toss it in the bin or is there something I can do?

      Makes sense. Just didn’t think that it was this sensitive. Thanks for the input

    For the last 3 years i shower, swim, wellness sauna, into the sea on holiday, etc. And it’s still working fine.

      I’ve never dared to bring it into the sauna, but apparently it just took a shower to break it

    After a quick swim, my watch started acting up. Bad touch reg, boot loop, terrible battery life, ambient light sensor dead, etc. I was scared, but somehow it managed to revive each thing on its own.

    But it was a swimming pool, not shampoo.

    Never wearing my watch near activities that require me to turn on water lock
