If a company is offering water resistance on it’s devices then that should be a deterrent for a splash or unexpectedly getting caught in a rain shower. But as a consumer, there’s always a part of us that wants to push things to the limit.

Saw it on my old Samsung Active 2 watch too. Don't know if it also activates automatically (haven't tested it), but it does have a water lock function which you can at the very least activate it manually; the tone used to eject the water is rather loud by comparison.

I used to work at my local apple store as a genius. My friends always ask me why the iPhone doesn't support the apple pencil, I'm sure you're also asked often. It'd be cool if you made a video about it and here's the reasons: Number 1: There are hardware capabilities, the ipad is built with a special display that supports and recognises the movements of the pencil. Number 2: The size. The largest iPhone has a 6.7 inch display and the apple pencil 2nd generation is about 6.5 inches long and the 1st generation is 6.9 inches long. Its too large to sit comfortably on top of an iphone to wireless charge and too long to sit inside the lightning port. Thirdly: It just doesn't look appealing to see someone on their iphone with a white thing hanging out of the botttm and the it doesn't match any of the colours of the flagship iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max. Lastly: The iPad battery is much larger and takes 15 seconds to charge an apple pencil for half an hour whereas an iphone would take about 7 minutes to charge the same amount. It takes 28 times the charging time. It is rumoured that in the next few years, apple will drop the iPad mini from the lineup in favour of a large display iphone with pencil support. Hope this helps for a potential video, hopefully if it did get made into a video, my friends would stop pestering me about it.

That’s not what he’s saying he’s saying in apples product line, the Apple Watch is the only one to have water lock.

It will never turn on automatically unless it thinks that you're working out; in that case it will lock you from using the screen right before asking you if you want to record a workout. This forces you to stop exercising to unlock the watch while it is out of the water and scroll down to the button to start a work out. After that you have to relock it.

Hey, just a question, if I changed the screen of my Apple Watch, will it still be waterproof?

What if you play this sound underwater? Would that allow the water to go in easier? What about water with soap dissolved in it? That will reduce the surface tension and could help water go in.

Freaking love my watch so much. What a cool piece of technology!!

I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 and it has that feature, but it needs to be put into water lock on command ahead of time. Being British, getting caught out in a rain shower is a fairly regular occurrence for me, so I'd be lying if I said I'd never had to activate it and save the day. Anyway, from what I see in the video, I can only assume that the Apple Watch is a whole other system as my understanding is that there must be sensors in there that detect the presence of water.

Good job once again

This video helped me a Ton. I just got my apple watch series 9 and i was very worried if even a few drops of water touched my Smartwatch. So i watched a few videos if it is ok to submerge the smartwatch in the water and some of those videos didn’t really tell me too much information. But this video was very helpful and full of useful information. This video was 2 minutes long but very informational. So thank you for making the video.

this channel answers questions that nobody has

It is also a shortcut on iPhone and iPad and if you connect one of them to your MacBook you can use it there too you just have to use third-party websites and allow it

It never turned on automatically for me, is that a feature of the newer watches? I have a series 4.

You shouldn't expose "waterproofed" devices to water with detergents not because they supposedly disolve seals. They usually don't. Most solutions that can disolve a rubber seal will disolve a human hand as well. The whole point of detergent is to lower water surface tension - effectively making "water droplets" smaller, so they penetrate better. Electronic devices have gaps in external shell (including gaps around the seal). These gaps may be too narrow for pure water, but wide enough for water solutions with detergents (like hand soap).

It is good up to 50 meters, I don't think a brief showers is going to cause issues, I've been using my Series 4 for years in swimming, pools, showers, the sea everywhere, zero issues.

@Shadow__X

Water lock does not protect the watch if that's what you're concerned about. It's just to prevent the water from doing stuff on your watch, because as mentioned, it can't differentiate between water and your finger. The speakers can sound muffled if water gets into them, so it ejects water. So even if you don't have water lock on, the only thing you are risking are things like changed settings, accidentally calling someone or starting a workout etc.

Hi Greg and hi yall guys! As I wouldn't know who to ask so I'm taking the opportunity to write a comment here looking for help. I bought about 3 weeks ago an Apple Watch Series 6 GPS (not cellular) and I noticed that the water lock function in the control panel (the one you open by swiping from bottom to top) does not activate when you press the button and so I' m afraid to put the watch in contact with water. Is it normal that it doesn't activate when you press it? Is it a system bug or a defective touch screen? in the video Greg specifies that it activates automatically, only then reiterates that it can be activated manually, so I rule out that Apple has removed the possibility of activating the water lock manually. Is it normal for my watch to do this? Thank you all for your patience and time! Take care

Its available in galaxy watch long time ago
