Maintenance and Care

Cleaning Your Apple Watch Ultra

Water Resistance

The Apple Watch Ultra is water resistant to 100 meters (WR100) under ISO standard 22810:2010. It is suitable for high-speed water sports and recreational diving to 40 meters. However, water resistance is not a permanent condition and may diminish over time. Avoid exposing your watch to soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, perfumes, solvents, detergents, acids, or acidic foods, which can negatively affect water seals and acoustic membranes.
