Hey guys! I ordered my apple watch series 2 stainless steel (black) 42mm w/ sport band a couple of weeks ago.
When the first apple watch came out, I swore it wasn't for me... I'm wear a watch everyday, but I'm a huge "purist"when it comes to watches. That being said, the apple watch won't replace my day-to-day, but after seeing WatchOS 3, I hope it will fit into the rotation!
Probably the biggest reason I jumped on the watch was the swimming and fitness capabilities though. I try to either weightlift or swim everyday (and if I can't get that in, at least some cardio!) and I've always wanted a device that could accurately track my fitness goals and I think the Series 2 is for me!
I know that the watch advertises for swimming and I did get the stainless steel with the sapphire crystal face, but I'm just a little concerned about durability/the watch staying on.
My swim workouts are definitely more than 'casual.' I'm not a pro athlete by any means, but my normal workout consists of an average of 2000 meters or so, probably swimming freestyle at a 1:30 pace/100m with some I.M., butterfly, kicking mixed in, etc. Should I be worried at all about the watch flying off? Or the waterproofing being messed up by the velocity/force of a butterfly stroke?
Thanks for any input! (Hopefully I'm just overthinking my concerns!)
