I workout hard 6x a week and just shower with my
Watch on. Just do whatever works for you and don't think so hard about it.
Well, Tim Cook does too, so it must be alright...
I'd make sure to remove the armband every once in a while to clean out the groove and the lug fitting into it, because all my other watches have accumulated a lot of crud right there.
If I have a particularly sweaty workout I'll just barely rinse my watch off with luke warm water snd towel dry it.
Also, when you do that it's useful to "clean" the crown by rotating it under the water a bit like it says here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204639
If I don't do that for a while then my crown gets a bit sticky...

Great AW hygiene.
Keeping my AW in a Spigen case protects it from most environment issues.
I do clean it with a cloth when removing the case and it doesn't seem that I need to water rinse.
My workouts have yet to be long runs like it used to be and so little perspiration occurs.

Wow, I guess it's more water resistant than I thought it was. I would never have dared to put it under water

You can submerge it in a meter of water for up to 30 minutes.

I've always been reluctant to actually wet my watch but I actually just put it under lukewarm water and spinned and clicked the wheel to clean it as per Apple's support page. It's all good right now.
I workout daily and my routine has been to turn it off, rinse under room temp water, pat dry with a towel and let "air dry" the rest of the way while I shower. If you're sweating, you most likely do not want to let your sport band sit with that sweat without at least wiping it down with a damp cloth, purely for health reasons.
These water videos give me great confidence when encountering water on my AW.
I still take my AW when showering to recharge it at that time.
Goodbye to days when I had to submerge my trackers in rice to maybe bring them back to life.
I still have some that rice & I should just eat it or throw the rice out with the old trackers.

After a workout, I'll usually rinse sweat off my Milanese band and the HR sensor with warm water and towel dry.
