How does the Apple Watch, which allows swimming while wearing it, drains the water that gets inside? Slow motion movie that understands



The Apple Watc since Apple Watch Series 2 has a water resistance of 50 meters and is not only resistant to sweat and rain, but also wearable when swimming or surfing. The reason why such an Apple Watch has such high water resistance is that it can drain water that has entered the speaker or microphone unit.

The Slow Mo Guys has released a video shot in slow motion of the speaker part during this drainage operation.

Gavin Free , a video creator on the YouTube channel The Slow Mo Guys with over 13.7 million subscribers, has appeared.



The

Phantom Flex 4K, a 4K-compatible high-speed camera, is used for this shoot. The Phantom Flex 4K can shoot slow motion movies at 1000-2000 fps .



First, in order to fully immerse your Apple Watch in water, tap the water drop icon on the red frame part of the control center to turn on the

waterproof lock .



And dive in the bath as it is.




So, Free, who returned from the bath, was soaked in water.



Put the Apple Watch on the desk as it is and shoot the slow motion movie using Phantom Flex 4K.



From the screen size and digital crown design, you can see that it is

Apple Watch Series 4 or Apple Watch Series 5 that is used to check the drainage mechanism.



The problem is the speaker part on the side of the main unit, the size is 8 mm width × 1 mm height. It is structurally inevitable that water will enter the inside of the main body through this slit for producing sound.



To unlock the waterproof lock, you need to rotate the digital crown on the side of the main unit to unlock the screen. When you turn the digital crown, the Apple Watch drains the water inside.

Water came out from the side of the main body as shown in the red frame.



Check the drainage condition of the speaker with a 2000 fps slow motion movie.



Suddenly water overflowed from the speaker. The drainage function of Apple Watch vibrates the inside of the speaker to discharge water from the inside.



As the amount of water that jumps out of the speaker gradually decreases, water will come in and out of the speaker.



From another angle.



Water spouts vigorously from the speaker.



From the speaker on the side of the main unit……



The water suddenly overflows, but at that time it is clear that the speaker part is vibrating finely.



The water droplets coming out of the speaker are gradually increasing.




Check the drainage from the front of the speaker.




It looks like this when drained while wearing.



When drained in water, you can see how air spouts from the speaker.
