Can you wear a watch in the shower?

Most watches, even those labeled as "water-resistant," are not designed to withstand the full force of a shower stream. The water pressure in a shower can be quite high, and it can force water into the watch's gaskets and seals, causing them to fail. This can lead to water damage to the watch's movement, electronics, and display.

Also, the hot water from the shower can cause the watch's case, bracelet, and other components to deteriorate over time. The soap and shampoos you use in the shower can also leave behind a residue on the watch, which can be difficult to remove and make the watch look unsightly.

Lastly, wearing a watch in the shower simply increases the risk of the watch slipping off the hand, possibly getting lost as water flushes into drain.

Therefore, you should remove your watch and leave it someplace else while taking a shower to avoid any potential inconvenience in the long run.
