I have the Apple Watch Ultra. I currently don’t use it in water at all. I will occasionally turn on the water mode thing in the task bar if I have to walk into the store etc and it is raining bad. My mom has mobility issues and wants to start walking in a pool a few times a week, I said I would go with her. Can I turn on the water mode thing in the task bar and have my arm/wrist under the water the whole time while we walk to track my heart rate etc (I have POTS, I have to keep track of it) without it ruining my watch. I am scared of ruining the watch. It is the most expensive thing I own and I am still paying it off in monthly payments. Is this really water proof? Like walking in a pool for an hour while my wrist is under water the whole time? Thanks in advance for calming my fears, lol.

    I know what the commercials say, I am just a paranoid schizophrenic and I have issues trusting what the companies say. I would rather take the word of people who have used the watch and tell me yes, it works great in the water, no issues, or no don’t do it, I have had issues with it being water proof.

      Ah yes. Forgot Apple lies in their marketing. Classic Apple showing divers suing it when it’s not water resistant. These watches aren’t water proof. They are water resistant
