Can I swim with my Apple Watch Sport

I've seen videos from YouTube many people swim with their watches to Apple. I'm a passionate swimmer myself, but due the fact that I do not have Apple Care, and also because the Apple Watch is just so expensive in South Africa, I'm afraid to take a chance. What's the verdict on the Apple Watch Sport - it's a sports watch - can I take it swim?

Hi Omar

Apple Watch is splash and water resistant but not waterproof. You can, for example, carry and use it during the year, in the rain and all washing their hands. Immersing, however, is not recommended.

Apple indicates that the following can affect Apple Watch water resistance and should be avoided:

  • Swim or bathe with it.
  • A fall or submit to other impacts.
  • Immersing in water for long periods of time.
  • Expose to water under pressure or high speed (for example, showering, water skiing, wakeboarding, surfing, jet skiing and so on).
  • He wears in the sauna or the hammam room.

Apple is not responsible for damage arising from failure to comply with the instructions for use of the product. The same applies with regard to both the limited warranty of one year and AppleCare + (including coverage for accidental damage, unintentional abuse).

  • How can I get my Apple Watch Sport update to watch OS 2.1?

    I have a Apple Watch Sport on watch OS 2.0.1 and I'm updating the watch OS 2.1. Whenever I try to download and install the update, I get a popup saying: "Impossible to check updated" "watch OS update could not be verified because you are not connected to the Internet."

    My iPhone more 6 is currently in the last update, iOS 9.2.1.

    I made sure that the Apple Watch is:

    • in the range of my iPhone connected to Wi - Fi
    • connected to its charger
    • at least 50% charged

    Because it did not work I tried to adjust the watch next to the phone, keep it on my wrist, restart both devices, and I even restored the two devices to factory settings once.

    Now, I know that the message said: it's because I'm not connected to the internet, but I assure you, I am. The rest of my House very much work and the phone and the watch can even make things with the connection to the internet. The speed of the internet home is also 100 MB download, is more than capable. I also tried several other connections wi - fi and turn off completely and try with LTE, even if it is said to use wi - fi.

    Please help if someone has an answer.

    To check this, on your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: Watch My > Workout - if it is currently enabled, disable power saving Mode.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Try charging your watch once again. In doing so, check that:

    • All the plastic film was removed from both ends and both sides of the cable support (consult closely on the head of the charger).

    • On the back of your watch and the head of the charge cable are clean and dry (clean with an abrasive, lint cloth).
    • The head of the load is properly aligned with the back of the watch, with the concave side / curve touch fully:
      • Some docks of watch, brackets, cases or protectors might hinder it. If you use one of these accessories, try to load the watch by plugging it directly into the charging cable, without using the.
    • If possible, test using a different Apple genuine magnetic Charging Cable (for example, by borrowing one from a friend).
    • If you reload your watch by plugging the cable into the socket:
      • Check that the magnetic charge cable Apple USB connector is fully engaged in the USB power adapter.
      • Check that the USB power adapter is fully committed in the socket.
      • Try to use different maps of the following:
        • Adapter USB Apple that was provided with the watch, or;
        • A 5W Apple (iPhone) or 12W (iPad) USB power adapter, or;
        • A third-party certified 5W (MFi) Apple USB power adapter.
      • Try using a different take (one that is known to work properly).
    • If no other suitable adapters are available, try to load by plugging the cable into a USB port.
      • If loading via a USB port on a computer, make sure that you use a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, the computer remains turned on and awake, and the cable is plugged directly into the computer (not on, for example, an external keyboard).

    If you identify a problem with a particular component (adapter, cable, or watch) or the question otherwise persists, contact Apple support (mail service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation to have your products verified and, if recommended by Apple, served (either under warranty or through a service fee and out-of-warranty):

    To check your warranty status (the serial number is on the back of your watch):

  • How do you communicate with the Apple Watch

    How do you communicate with the Apple Watch

    Hello!

    Welcome to the Apple community. I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say "communicate" with the Apple Watch, so I'll give you a few options that can respond to your request.

    (1) the Apple Watch supports Siri, just like the iPhone and the Mac. To apply, simply say "Hey Siri" while the wrist is triggered, and your watch will respond. Alternatively, you can hold the digital Crown and Siri will be activated. As soon as Siri is activated, you can ask him questions such as "what is the weather today" or "reminder", or "Let's start a workout."

    (2) you can manually send SMS via your Apple Watch by use of Siri, or opening the messaging app. That Siri send your messages, just say 'Hey Siri, send a text < name >' and Siri will open the Messages app and wait to talk to you about your message. If you want to move the Messages app manually, press the digital Crown and will take you to the home screen. In the home screen, select the Messages app (a green icon with a word inside bubble). Any existing message log must appear, and you can type on a given message log and choose to respond.

    (3) If you want to place a phone call using your Apple Watch, you can say "Hey Siri, call < contact name >". If you have several numbers for a particular contact, Siri will ask you what number you want to call. You can also you can present a more specific request like 'Hey Siri, call < contact name >, < number >' with the number favorite is 'work' or 'House' or 'mobile' etc. So the demand go something like "Hey Siri, call Barbra, House".

    If you are still at a loss, with regard to the types of orders that Siri will accept, you can always ask. Say 'Hey Siri, what can you do?' and she will give you a list of commands that she will answer to the.

    If all goes well, I addressed your question. If not, please provide a little more information and I'll do what I can to help you.

    Good luck!
