Attention all Apple Watch owners! If you're planning to take a dip in the water this summer, here's a cautionary tale worth hearing. An Illinois diver, Darick Langos, made a startling discovery during his dives at Indiana's Chain O' Lakes — approximately 200 Apple Watches lying at the lake bottom. Nearly all of them still had their original bands attached.
Langos, operator of Scuba Bear Diving Recovery Service, has encountered numerous Apple smartwatches during his underwater expeditions. His verdict on clasp-style bands? "They do not stay on in the water."
Alongside Apple Watches, Langos frequently discovers smartphones, prescription glasses, and other valuables submerged underwater. But it's the sheer prevalence of lost Apple Watches — almost always with their original bands — that underscores a simple but important lesson: your band choice matters.
Why a Loop Band Makes All the Difference
Ownloop's Infinity Loop, Infinity Sport Loop, and Woven Loop Apple Watch bands offer a secure, buckle-free fit that keeps your device firmly in place during water-related adventures.
