If you thought the Apple Watch Series 7 would be more water resistant than its predecessors, we have bad news for you. Their resistance is the same.
In the presentation event of this new model, they show that its screen is much harder. There is no doubt about that, seeing all the improvements it brings, but regarding its degree of resistance to water we have to say that it remains the same as always.
Apple Watch Series 7 Water Resistance:
Yes. They are watches with which we can bathe in the sea, shower, do water sports but, for example, diving and doing impact sports in the water cannot.
We have reviewed the degree of water resistance of the new Apple Watch Series 7 and it is certified by the standard ISO 22810:2010. It is the same certification that all previous models have. Then we pass them on for you to check.

That is why we must take the same precautions to extend the life of the watch as much as possible, as in its predecessor models.
This may affect the water resistance of the Apple Watch:
In the following video we explain everything to you. If you are more of reading, we will explain it to you in writing below:
Now we transcribe what Apple says regarding water resistance and aspects that could influence it:
- Apple Watch Series 2, Series 3, Series 4, Series 5, SE, Series 6, and Series 7 can be used for surface water activities like swimming in the pool or ocean. However, they should not be used for diving, water skiing or activities involving high-velocity water impacts or deep immersion.
- You can shower with them, but exposing them to soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lotions or perfumes is not recommended as they can affect the hydraulic seals and acoustic membranes.
- When cleaning Apple Watch, don't use s alt water. If the device comes into contact with any liquid other than fresh water, dry it with a lint-free cloth.
- Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may diminish over time. Apple Watch cannot be retested or resealed for water resistance.
- The following may affect the water resistance of Apple Watch and should therefore be avoided:
- Drop Apple Watch or expose it to other types of shock.
- Exposing Apple Watch to soap or soapy water, such as when bathing or showering.
- Avoid exposing Apple Watch to perfumes, solvents, detergents, acids, acidic foods, insect repellents, lotions, sunscreens, oils, or hair dyes.
- Exposing Apple Watch to high-velocity water impacts, for example, while water skiing.
- Wearing your Apple Watch in a sauna or steam room.
So if you want your Series 7 to last a long time, keep these aspects in mind. It is not going to happen to you as it happened to us with a Apple Watch that died because of the water.
Greetings.
