⁹Apple Watch Series 2 and later and Apple Watch SE and later have a water resistance rating of 50 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means that they may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. Apple Watch Series 10 and later can also be used for snorkeling to 6 meters. However, they should not be used for scuba diving, waterskiing, or other high-velocity water sports. Apple Watch Ultra models have a water resistance rating of 100 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. They may be used for recreational scuba diving (with compatible third-party app from the App Store) to 40 meters and high-speed water sports. They should not be used below 40 meters. Water resistance is not a permanent condition and can diminish over time.
