In addition to the fact that, as Katana-San explains, Apple recommends against wearing it while showering, doing so is probably not very good for your skin. Unless you remove the watch and carefully wash off any soap from both your wrist and the watch and make sure both are dry, you could end up with skin irritation.


I also find that if I put my watch on the charger before I get into the shower and put it back on my wrist once I'm dressed, it's good for the day, and I'll probably only have to charge it for an hour in the evening.
