About Apple Watch water resistance

Learn about water resistance on your Apple Watch and what to do if your device gets wet.

Is my Apple Watch waterproof?

Your Apple Watch is water resistant, but not waterproof.* For example, you may wear and use your Apple Watch during exercise (exposure to sweat is OK), in the rain, and while washing your hands.

Can I go swimming or take a shower with my Apple Watch?

Apple Watch Series 1 and Apple Watch (1st generation) are splash and water resistant, but submerging Apple Watch Series 1 and Apple Watch (1st generation) isn’t recommended.

Apple Watch Series 2 and newer may be used for shallow water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. However, Apple Watch Series 2 and newer shouldn’t be used for scuba diving, water skiing, or other activities involving high velocity water or submersion below shallow depth.

Showering with Apple Watch Series 2 and newer is ok, but we recommend not exposing Apple Watch to soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and perfumes as they can negatively affect water seals and acoustic membranes. Apple Watch should be cleaned with fresh water and dried with a lint free-cloth if it comes in contact with anything other than fresh water.

Water resistance isn’t a permanent condition and may diminish over time. Apple Watch can’t be rechecked or resealed for water resistance. The following may affect the water resistance of your Apple Watch and should be avoided:

• Dropping Apple Watch or subjecting it to other impacts.
• Exposing Apple Watch to soap or soapy water (for example, while showering or bathing).
• Exposing Apple Watch to perfume, solvents, detergent, acids or acidic foods, insect repellent, lotions, sunscreen, oil, or hair dye.
• Exposing Apple Watch to high-velocity water (for example, while water skiing).
• Wearing Apple Watch in the sauna or steam room.

Not all bands are appropriate for water use. For example, the stainless steel and leather bands aren’t water resistant and shouldn’t be exposed to liquids.

What should I do if my Apple Watch gets wet?

If water splashes on to your Apple Watch, wipe it off with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth. Don’t use heat, compressed air, or sprays. Clean and dry your Apple Watch, the band, and your skin after workouts or heavy sweating. After swimming, gently rinse Apple Watch Series 2 and newer with warm tap water. Dry Apple Watch and the band thoroughly if they’re exposed to fresh water. Learn more about cleaning your Apple Watch.

If your Apple Watch got wet and now its speaker sounds muffled, follow the steps below. Don’t insert anything into the openings—for example, the microphone or speaker ports—and don’t shake the watch to remove water. Allowing your Apple Watch to charge overnight might speed up evaporation.

On Apple Watch Series 3 and newer, measurements from the barometric altimeter may be less accurate if water gets into the air vent (for example, during swimming). Normal altimeter performance returns after the water has evaporated.

Apple Watch Series 2 and newer

When you start a swimming workout, your Apple Watch automatically locks the screen with Water Lock to avoid accidental taps. When you’re done, turn the Digital Crown to unlock the screen and clear any water from your Apple Watch. You hear sounds and may feel some water on your wrist.

To manually clear water from Apple Watch, swipe up on the bottom of the watch face to open Control Center, tap Water Lock, then turn the Digital Crown to unlock the screen and clear water from the speaker.

Apple Watch Series 1 or earlier

Check to see if water is in the microphone or speaker by placing the device, speaker side down, on a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth to see if any water drips out. Water in the port may degrade speaker or microphone performance until it completely evaporates.

* Apple Watch Series 1 and Apple Watch (1st generation) have a water resistance rating of IPX7 under IEC standard 60529. Apple Watch Series 2 and newer have a water resistance rating of 50 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. Apple Watch Series 7 is rated IP6X dust resistant. Classic Buckle, Leather Loop, Modern Buckle, Milanese, and Link Bracelet Bands aren’t water resistant.

Water and other liquid damage to iPhone or iPod isn’t covered by warranty

Service for the liquid damage to an iPhone or iPod isn’t covered by the Apple One-Year Limited Warranty.

Find out if liquid damaged your iPhone or iPod

If liquid damages an iPhone or iPod (for example, coffee or a soft drink), the service for the liquid damage isn’t covered by the Apple One-Year Limited Warranty, but you may have rights under consumer law. iPhone and most iPod devices that were built after 2006 have built-in Liquid Contact Indicators that will show whether the device has been in contact with water or a liquid containing water.

iPhone and most iPod devices are equipped with Liquid Contact Indicators (LCIs) that you can see from the outside.

An LCI will activate when it contacts water or a liquid containing water. The indicator’s color is normally white or silver, but when it contacts water or a liquid containing water, it will turn fully red. An LCI won’t activate because of humidity and temperature changes that are within the product’s environmental requirements.

To find out if the LCI in your device contacted liquid, find your product in the table below and locate the LCI or LCIs in your device. To help you see the LCI, use a lighted magnifying glass and angle the light or the device until you can see the LCI.

This table shows where the indicator (or indicators) are and how they look after being exposed to liquid:

Product	Liquid Contact Indicator location
iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13
iPhone 13 Pro
iPhone 13 Pro Max
iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini
iPhone 12 Pro
iPhone 12 Pro Max
iPhone 11
iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max
iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone X
iPhone XR
iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus
iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus
iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus
iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5s, iPhone SE
iPhone 4, iPhone 4s
iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS
iPod classic
iPod shuffle (3rd generation)

If you aren’t sure if liquid exposure is causing an issue for your device, even if you see a red LCI, contact AppleCare or an authorized iPhone service provider for help.

* iPod nano (7th generation) and iPod touch (5th generation) don’t have a visible Liquid Contact Indicator.

How to Make Apple Cider Vinegar from Scraps

How to Make Apple Cider Vinegar from Scraps

Plant Based Recipes

October 12, 2018 | Kathryn Kellogg

Last Updated on July 18, 2021

Remember that apple sauce recipe from Monday? Well I hope you saved your peels and cores because now it’s time to make some homemade apple cider vinegar!

Yes, you can actually make vinegar. I know it sounds wild, but it’s honestly a piece of (apple) cake!

Table of Contents

homemade apple cider vinegar:

I’ve been making my own apple cider vinegar for over five years now. It’s SO easy, and SO cheap. There are a few different ways that you can do it. You can use a whole apple that’s been chopped and chunked or you can use the peels and cores!

I personally prefer to use peels and cores because it’s a great way to use up food that would other wise be going to the compost bin.

Don’t get me wrong composting is great! I’m a big fan, and think it’s incredibly important. You can read more in a few of my composting blog posts:

But, it’s always better to make use and eat your scraps before they hit the bin. Keep those resources in play for as long as possible and save some money too.

Because, when a ‘waste’ product becomes something delicious and yummy – that’s MY kind of recipe!

If you’re looking for more recipes that utilize scraps, check out this blog post on full of ideas for cooking with food scraps.

homemade apple cider vinegar FAQ:

I have a full video tutorial on my instagram that you can watch here, and I’m answering some of the most common questions.

does it matter what kind of apples you use?

You can use any type of apple – in fact, you could even use a different fruit altogether. You could make a pear cider vinegar, pineapple, persimmon, fig or anything your heart fancies.

Depending on the sugar content of the fruit, you might just need to add a little bit more to your starter.

do you have to use sugar when making apple cider vinegar?

Sugar is a very important part of the fermenting process. One of the comments on my instagram post explained the process so well, I’m going to quote them. “To make vinegar, you first need to make an alcohol – so the sugar is there so that the yeasts on the apple cores can consume it to create an apple cider, and then bacteria converts that alcohol to acetic acid, making a vinegar.

“You technically could do it without the sugar, but you’d need to make the sugar in the apples much easier to access (probably by juicing them) in order for the yeasts to colonize your solution faster than mold spores could. Refined sugar is very accessible food for yeasts (but not molds or bacteria), so adding it has a preservative effect and gives the yeast a head start and reduces the chance that molds or pathogenic bacteria will colonize your solution before it ferments!” – Chel-z Birch Wyse

can you use honey instead of sugar?

I tried using honey to make a batch of apple cider vinegar, and it didn’t go super well. I’ve heard it’s possible, but it’s a much longer process. It works so much better with the sugar so even if you’re a very low sugar household, like we are, it’s worth getting some!

I’d borrow half a cup from a friend / family member or just get a scoop from your local bulk bin. That’s certainly one benefit of buying without a package is that you can get exactly what you need. For more info on bulk bins check out my blog post The Ultimate Guide to Zero Waste Grocery Shopping.

do you need to remove the seeds from your apple cores?

If you’re making apple cider vinegar from apple scraps – which you totally should because #EndFoodWaste, you might be wondering if you need to remove the apple seeds.

You certainly can if you’re feeling overly cautious, but you won’t be crushing them, grinding them, ingesting them or even leaving them in the mixture. And, the average person would have to eat over 100 seeds to get sick. (source)

does homemade apple cider vinegar need a preservative?

Vinegar is a preservative, but until it’s fully converted you do need to keep a close eye on it to ensure all of your apples stay submerged. If the apples hit the air they can grow mold, and if they do your batch will be bad.

If you want a fool proof hack check out the last bullet point!

how do you use your homemade apple cider vinegar?

Here’s 7 uses for homemade apple cider vinegar. It’s one of the most versatile products in my home!

• salad dressing
• homemade pickles (I love pickled green beans and red onions!)
• I use a splash when cooking rice for a little bit of acidity
• A splash for a produce wash
• Hair rinse to remove any excess build up
• In homemade cleaning products
• A natural weed killer

P.S. A homemade vinaigrette is perfect for topping this spinach, apple, walnut salad.

does vinegar go bad?

Good news, your vinegar will last pretty much forever! It’s a fermented product, and the ‘expiration’ date on most vinegars you buy in store is completely arbitrary. According to the vinegar institute. “Because of its acid nature, vinegar is self-preserving and does not need refrigeration.”

can I make the process faster?

Ok, so this is my FAVORITE vinegar hack. Whether you have homemade apple cider vinegar with the mother or you still have some store bought – you can create an eternal fountain of vinegar.

If your vinegar is in a jar with a small opening, transfer it to one that’s a bit larger. It will help it ferment a bit faster.

Fill the jar with half apple cider vinegar with the mother and the other half with water. Place a small swatch of cloth over the lid with a rubber band, and in about a week or two, you’ll have a full bottle of ACV. It really is that easy!

Additional notes: I keep the bottle just like you see below with the swatch of cloth on top and keep the vinegar constantly going, and my bottle has been going strong since 2017.

the tools:

• You need to make sure that you’re using a very clean quart sized jar!
• rubber band
• swatch of cloth

the ingredients:

• 2 cups of apple peels and cores
• 2 tablespoon of sugar
• 3 cups of filtered water

how to make apple cider vinegar:

1. place the apple pieces in the glass jar
2. fill the jar with filtered water
3. add in the sugar and shake until it dissolves
4. cover the jar with the swatch of cloth and a rubber band
5. let the jar sit in a dark place for about 3-4 weeks
6. stir it occasionally and make sure that the apple pieces are fully are submerged
7. after 3-4 weeks, strain out the apple pieces and compost
8. leave the liquid in the jar for another 3-4 weeks
9. then it’s ready to use!

other notes:

Your vinegar should be bright and well…. vinegary. If it’s overly sour or moldy, it’s not good.

This same process can also be used to turn old red wine into red wine vinegar and you can get my tips for that in my post How to Use Up Your Leftovers from Thanksgiving.

Would you try making your own apple cider vinegar?
