Attention all Apple Watch owners! If you're planning to take a dip in the water this summer, here's a cautionary tale you need to hear. An Illinois diver, Darick Langos, has made a startling discovery during his dives at Indiana's Chain O' Lakes — approximately 200 Apple Watches lying at the lake bottoms. Nearly all of the lost watches still had their original bands attached.
A Diver's Warning
Langos, the operator of Scuba Bear Diving Recovery Service, has encountered numerous Apple smartwatches during his underwater expeditions. According to him, the ones with clasps pose a significant risk in water activities. "They do not stay on in the water," Langos warned.
Aside from Apple Watches, Langos frequently discovers an array of items submerged underwater — from smartphones to prescription glasses. However, it's the prevalence of lost Apple Watches, particularly with their original bands, that underscores the importance of using a loop-style band for aquatic activities.
Why Loop Bands Are the Safer Choice
Ownloop's Infinity Loop, Infinity Sport Loop, and Woven Loop Apple Watch bands offer a secure fit and ensure that your device stays firmly in place during water-related adventures. Unlike traditional clasp bands, loop bands are designed to withstand the rigors of swimming, diving, and other water sports. With their adjustable and durable construction, loop bands provide peace of mind — reducing the risk of losing your valuable device.
Don't Let Your Watch Become a Statistic
The story of Darick Langos is a reminder for Apple Watch owners to prioritize safety when engaging in water activities. Don't let your Apple Watch end up at the bottom of a lake — make the switch to an Ownloop band and dive into your adventures carefree.
