Maintenance
Cleaning Your Apple Watch
Regular cleaning helps maintain your watch's appearance and functionality. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the watch. For stubborn spots, slightly dampen the cloth with fresh water. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. Ensure the watch is dry before charging.
Water and Dust Resistance
The Apple Watch Series 10 is water resistant to 50 meters (swimproof) and IP6X-certified dust resistant. While it can be used for shallow-water activities like swimming, it is not recommended for scuba diving, waterskiing, or other activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depth. Water resistance may decrease over time with normal wear.
Battery Care
To maximize battery lifespan, avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures. For long-term storage, charge the battery to around 50% and store it in a cool, dry place.
