Maintenance
Cleaning Your Apple Watch
- Turn off your Apple Watch and disconnect it from the charger.
- Wipe the watch with a non-abrasive, lint-free cloth. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with fresh water.
- For the band, follow specific cleaning instructions based on its material (e.g., silicone bands can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild soap).
- Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Water Resistance
The Apple Watch Series 11 is water resistant, but not waterproof. It can be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. It should not be used for scuba diving, waterskiing, or other activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depths. Water resistance may decrease over time. Avoid exposing the watch to soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotions, perfumes, solvents, detergent, acids, acidic foods, insect repellent, sunscreen, oil, or hair dye, as these can negatively affect water seals and acoustic membranes.
Software Updates
Keep your Apple Watch software updated to ensure optimal performance and access to the latest features and security enhancements. Updates are managed through the Apple Watch app on your paired iPhone.
