The renewed Apple smartwatch, Apple Watch Series 2, adds protection against water and as the company says on its website, the watch can last up to 50 meters under water and now we don't have to worry when using it in the pool and in the sea. The novelty compared to the previous version is that it now adds the corresponding certification and the user can perform water activities without problems. The problem of electronic devices that can get wet is always related to the ports and in this case Apple has a spectacular water extraction system for the new Apple Watch.
As the speakers cannot be sealed because they need air to produce sound and it is the only place where water could enter the device, they have made a major change in this part and now water is allowed to enter and it is expelled using vibration of the sound itself. Let's watch the video in slow motion to find out:
In the first generation of Apple's smart watch, the company with Tim Cook at the helm came out in defense of the water resistance in his watch, even the CEO of Apple explained that he was showering with his Apple Watch on. In addition, at the time it was released, numerous videos of users outside the company showed the watch immersing itself in swimming pools, showers and others. The results are that the clock continued to function normally but the sound from the speaker could be affected by the ingress of water, playing the sound lower until it was dry. With the new system implemented in the Apple Watch Series 2, this no longer occurs thanks to the vibration of this membrane placed on the device's speaker.
