  • Man sues Apple, wins case over Apple Watch Sport impact resistance

    tjwolf said:
    I fell victim to the Sport's fragility.  I like to swim - but Apple Watch isn't waterproof, so I take it off and put it in the locker.  One day, when I lifted my gym bag out of the locker, the watch, lying beneath, got dragged out with the bag.  It fell 3-4 feet to the tiled floor.  Because of the weight distribution, it fell right onto its screen (unlike most cheap sport watches, the Apple Watch has no protruding bezel to protect the glass at all) and the glass got a million cracks.
    Pitty. It is actually waterproof, at least enough for normal swimming (although Apple advises against it). You should have just left it on. I've been swimming with mine ever since I got it in the summer. I've put literally dozens of miles on it in the pool and in the ocean without any issue. As long as you are swimming on the surface (not at the bottom of the pool), then you will be fine.
