Owning an Apple Watch Ultra is owning a treasure. And it’s not exactly a treasure at sea. Although sometimes yes. A user lost his smartwatch deep in the lake and managed to get it back… 3 months later! This isn’t the first time something similar has happened, and it probably won’t be the last. The high resistance of the Apple Watch Ultra, together with the geographical location of the Find network, makes this possible.

Apple Watch Ultra certified dust resistance IP6X and water resistance certified according to standards ISO 22810. This means it is possible to submerge the watch in water 100 meters depthAlthough Apple does not recommend going beyond 40 meters. Even so, the Apple Watch Ultra in this story is not affected by the depth or infinity of time.

Get your Apple Watch Ultra back after three months

He quickly tried to reach her but was unsuccessful. Apple Watch Ultra was hopelessly lost in the majestic darkness of the lake.

Apple devices offer excellent resistance to harsh weather conditions and other environmental factors. Like this iPhone 11 that still works after spending a week underwater, or the other iPhone that fell to the bottom of the ocean. But what is often not highlighted is the honesty and kindness of the people who find these devices and care about returning them to their rightful owners. Faith in humanity has been restored!
