Once again Apple makes it clear that its will is that its devices accompany us at any time of the day, and of course, the Apple Watch is the perfect companion to wear it on the wrist for as long as possible.

But can we wear it all day? Of course, depending on the activity you do, but with the Apple Watch 2 Series We extend the number of hours that our gadget will be with us, because Now you can join us in the shower or in the pool.

What does Apple say about it? Like its predecessor, withstands liquid splashes, that is, it incorporates the IPX7 system. But the most significant novelty is the new waterproofing system, which allows you to submerge up to 50 meters, as it has the ISO 22810: 2010 certification. These acronyms tell us that it has passed all the waterproofing tests if you carry out shallow water activities: swimming, rafting, water polo or you work in an area with high humidity.

On the other hand, Apple does not recommend going further, as it does not guarantee correct operation. We are talking about approaching depths close to or greater than 50 meters, water skiing or playing sports where the watch is exposed to rain and high speed.

Incredible technology applied to the watch, so that it is submersible, but at the same time the sound it emits can be heard once we are out of the water. If the two micro speakers that it incorporates in the upper left part are clogged by liquids, the sound is not emitted. Therefore, Apple's innovation in this regard is a system capable of remove the liquid before making the sound, so that it is 100% compatible to listen to a sound, a notification or a Siri message as soon as you get out of the pool or shower.

If this or other news has suited you, from tomorrow day September 9 can be booked on the Apple website and It will go on sale next September 16.
