Apple Watch Lost at Sea a Year Ago Found and Still Working

Marketing expert and speaker Jared Brick was sure he would never see his Apple Watch again after losing it in the water during a Caribbean cruise. But a year and a half later, he not only recovered the device, but also continued to use it normally.

Brick told the story in a YouTube video. According to him, it all started when he went on vacation to the British Virgin Islands archipelago in June 2022. An Apple Watch was purchased so he could communicate with his son without needing a mobile phone.

After scuba diving and using his smartwatch to record his performance, Brick went to a local beach with his friends and jumped off rocks. Some of the fun was captured in videos and photos.

According to him, at a certain point Apple Watch probably separated from your wrist and fell into the water.
