Can an Apple Watch survive being buried in snow?

i dropped my apple watch and it conveniently just start snowing so its probably under snow. it still shows up in find my but im not able to get it right now. theres a 30% chance of snow stopping in about an hour, but there’s a 65% chance that it’ll rain right after. i can’t go out to look for it for another 5 hours. its expected to snow 2 inches. is there any chance the watch will still work?

There's a chance, but there's no way to be certain. An Apple Watch has water resistance, but whether that will hold after several hours in melting snow and rain none of us here can say with certainty. You'll just have to hope.


Regards.
