June 19, 2023

The Apple Watch isn’t only for sending you notifications from your iPhone and make you attend calls. It is also a good wearable for those who like to workout, running, cycling and swimming. Since series 2, Apple has made the watches water resistance up to 50 meters. Even you can go scuba diving if you have a Apple Watch Ultra. However being water resistance doesn’t mean that water will not get inside the tiny holes or parts of Watch, like the speaker. But worry not because Apple has already created a great feature called Water lock that helps you get rid of any moisture.
