Really? Which glasses did you get?
Sometimes my hands just type words that sound somewhat similar to what I actually wanted to say. I meant watches.
Really? Which glasses did you get?
last time i took a shower in the dark without being able to see though,, I slipped and bashed my head of the tub giving myself a major concussion(my friends and I commonly refer to the incident jokingly as the Rubber Ducky incident)
so I wouldn't recommend that
Of course there are uses (like checking what time it is). But capacitive touchscreens don't really work when they are wet and microphones and loudspeakers can also be easily muted by water.I can't see practical use for wearing clothing in the shower.
I can see a practical use for wearing the Apple watch in the shower / bath.
And it is unfortunate that you cannot appreciate the joke in my statement. The point was among other things that we take off quite a lot of things before taking a shower, taking off your watch as well isn't really a big additional burden. And most people take off all their stuff because it's just more practical to clean yourself if there is nothing sticking to your body (be it a watch, glasses or as we seem to agree on, your clothes).there's a difference. Just unfortunate you can't see it.
See my other posts on this point.As for glasses, I know a few people who have no choice but to wear theirs in the shower, just so they can see!
I didn't realize this was such a big feature for so many people.
What are you aiming to do on your watch that can't wait the five or ten minutes it takes to actually shower?
You can always buy two Apple watches, one you were at night and one you wear during the day.

There are those, like my wife, who's exercise of choice is swimming and would like to be able to track said activity.
"even in the shower.."
I'd like to know how many Apple Watches Tim has gone through.
It's a watch. People are used to being able to wear a watch all the time, even in the shower. You shouldn't have to take it off.
Actually I meant it along the lines of the water resistance classification.

its not necessarily the shower. thats just an example (I know i don't wear mine during showering)
but you know, I do wash my hands regularly during the day, Especially coming out of the toilet. When I wash my hands, I use lots of soap and water. and do wash up to my wrists (proper handwashing technique, it's a habit). Wearing a watch, it WILL get wet. it will on occasion get under the flow of water.
What about rain? can you guarantee during a torrential downpour, no water will get on your wrist watch?
what about regions of the world with extreme humidity? Water resistance helps here too.
Simply put, the more water resistant a watch can be, the better.
To me the comment about wearing your watch in the shower is pretty irrelevant - I mean, who really does wear their watch in the shower? But to me a water proof watch is very important. I want a watch that I don't have to remember to take off when I go swimming, or do any one of a dozen other things that might get the watch to get wet. I don't need it for scuba diving - that is an "unusual" enough event that getting all the equipment together, getting the wet suit on, I'm pretty confident I wouldn't forget to take my watch off. But more regular, pedestrian activities where the watch might get wet is something that I just don't want to worry about. I don't care if the touchscreen works or not when it's wet, I just want it to work when everything dries out. I want my watch to be a piece of jewelry that I can wear almost anywhere. And until the Apple Watch is water resistant enough that I can go swimming in the pool or at the beach I'm not interested.
Does Rolex make battery operated watches? I'd always assumed they only made mechanical watches.
My ignorance has shown through.But I hope you know the point I was getting at?
Glad the watch is water resistance but I hope future versions have it water proof.
Enough for swimming and do water sports. Don't expect it for scuba but if could be like 5 to 10m water proof that would be awesome.
If I remember correctly, ORIS used to have a good write up on their site regarding their watch ratings. Breitling used to as well but I haven't been able to find it. I'm sure other dive watch mfrs. have something similar.
I'd be interested in reading such a piece if you succeed in digging a good one up.
