And nothing bad has ever happened to it. It looks brand new and is always clean. Does anyone not shower with it?

    I always have. Been using Apple Watches since series 3 and never had a water problem. I’ve always swam with them too. In pools and in the ocean.

    Apparently exposure to soap has the potential for degrading the seal over time, so I usually try not to though I have done it at times.

    Have been showering with my Apple Watch 5 for 3.5 years now. Just make sure to mostly get water on the Apple Watch and it will be fine.

    I’ve done this for years (since my S3). No issues whatsoever.

    You need to make sure soap or soapy water don’t touch the watch to keep the seals secure.

    I’ve used my Apple Watches in the ocean. Just remember to wash it off after. It detects when you’re swimming. There’s even a mode that locks the touch function of the screen since the water activates the screen. Finally when you disable the water mode (i forget what it’s called), it plays a tone on the watch + vibrates so that any water is expelled.
