What is the "waterproof lock" function that protects Apple Watch from water?
This feature, called a waterproof lock, is designed for "Apple Watch" and is intended for swimming or showering.
There are several problems with always soaking electronic devices such as smartwatches in water. First of all, if you get wet, the touchscreen won't work properly. Because water disperses the electrical conduction of the fingers.
In addition, the touch panel is difficult to distinguish between water droplets and fingers, causing misaction. Therefore, Apple Watch can automatically lock the display screen when moisture is detected to prevent failure.
There is another problem with water. That's a loudspeaker. The speakers are the only opening in the Apple Watch, so they are prone to stagnant water and damage.
As a result, Apple has developed the "effluent" function as a precaution. The structure of this function is surprisingly simple. The Apple Watch loudspeaker emits a low vibration sound, forcing the discharge of the remaining water from the vibration.
Overseas YouTuber's "The Slow Mo Guys" filmed in slow motion and disclosed the actual discharge of water from Apple Watch.
The waterproof lock function usually turns on automatically, but it can also be turned on manually by clicking the "drip" button in the control center.
You can see if the waterproof lock is open through the small water drop icon at the top of the display.
These features and excellent waterproofing allow you to install Apple Watch when swimming or showering in the water. However, Apple Watch is waterproof, but not waterproof.
Therefore, it is best to avoid soaking in water with strong soap or solution. For example, detergent for tableware and soap for car washing. These powerful chemicals may reduce the adhesion of Apple Watch over time and cause terminal flooding.
