A man in Brazil lost his Apple Watch after it fell off his wrist and into the sea off the Sao Paulo coast but was able to recover it using Apple’s Find My feature.
Water resistance is one of the underrated features that make the Apple Watch some of the most popular wearables out there, along with their advanced fitness tracking. Since the Apple Watch Series 2, watches have been rated to ISO standard 22910:2010, which means they can be used underwater.
Now, a man in Brazil lost his Apple Watch after it fell into the sea off the Sao Paulo coast but was able to recover it using Apple’s Find My feature.
According to G1, via AppleInsider, Jefferson Rocha lost his Apple Watch, but was able to track its location using the internal GPS signal through the Find My app. However, the device stopped reporting its location when the battery ran out. Rocha received a notification when she restarted the Apple Watch, and then activated Lost Mode in the Find My app, giving anyone her contact information to reach her.
Eventually, a 16-year-old girl messaged him on Instagram to say she had found and recovered the Apple Watch. And, as per reports, the girl’s father, who is a diver, has found the watch.
With the Apple Watch Ultra, Apple says, “You can wear it for recreational scuba diving up to 130 feet (40 meters) and during other activities such as swimming, showering, and water skiing.” And, for the Series 2 and later, “shallow-water activities such as swimming in a pool or ocean” should be fine, but you must use a model other than the Apple Watch Ultra for “diving, water skiing, or other activities involving should not” submerge under shallow depth or high-velocity water.
