Apple Watch, water and workouts

Great, informative article from Craig Hockenberry on the affect of water on your Apple Watch.

Every bit of this is a good read. But if I had to pick one point to highlight, it’s this:

Make sure you rinse your equipment in fresh water after it has been exposed to salt water. As you’ve seen above, that includes a swimming pool.

I make sure to wash my watch thoroughly after every swim. It doesn’t take much to get the corrosive liquid off. If you’re working out, it’s likely that you have a bottle of water handy: a few splashes is all it takes. Don’t use a sports drink for this rinse: it contains the same harmful electrolytes you’re trying to get rid of!

Chances are also good that you’re going to take a shower after a workout. Just hold your wrist up to the shower head and you’re done!
