My S8 goes into the shower with me at least once every single day without ill-effects.

As a result, it’s clean as a whistle, and doesn’t have all my workout sweat building up in the nooks and crannies of the strap, along with all the delicious skin flakes that inevitable drop off us humans.

Whilst this thing isn’t a G-Shock you can cheerfully put through the dishwasher, the only outcome of a ten-minute shower is a clean me and a clean watch.

Series 8 have showered with it and timer activated to get moving.

I keep a charger in the bathroom. It’s a good time to charge it, since I’m not, like, lifting weights or anything while in there…

I shower with mine on every day. I only take it off to charge it when I’m chilling in bed at night before I go to sleep (then I put it back on so it can track my sleep).

It’s built for swimming

It’s not built for hot water and soap

I don’t mix my gadgets with steam… even ‘water resistant’ ones.

I have never taken mine into the shower. It would feel weird to me. I usually place it on a charger while I am showering.

Series 8 have showered with it and timer activated to get moving.

i think people who want to shower with it on should shower with it on and people who don’t want to shower with it on should not shower with it on

Apparently exposure to soap has the potential for degrading the seal over time, so I usually try not to though I have done it at times.

I’ve showered daily, used my hot tub and pool at least daily with my series 4 since I bought it new. Never had an issue but had an unrelated small scratch on the screen

I do not, only because I have the nylon “Sport Loop” band which stays wet too long for my comfort.

I shower with it 2 out of 3 days. The 3rd day, I put it on the charger for a little bit. The only time I don’t is if I am using a nylon band. It dries quickly but I’d rather not wait and just take it off.

I swim nearly every morning and take long hot showers daily. Have for years. Nothing ever happened to my watch. This comment section is the first time I’ve ever heard people say hot water and shampoo could damage

Yeah I shower with my Apple Watch too, helps me keep track of time (I mean it is a watch lol)
