This also works with AirPods, there are YouTube videos that will play the frequency sweeps for you.
AirPods are not really intended to get wet like Apple Watch is.

#12I wonder why my Samsung Gear S3 has nothing like this. Its water proof and has speakers as well but there is no "you cant use your watch because its wet". Until now, I didnt even think about this might be an issue. The watch just... works. No matter if wet or not.

True, but I ran my right bud through the washer & dryer. Still working perfect a year and a half later. Pretty impressed.

#15I can’t quite cope with the missing w from “The Slow Mo Guys”.
But you don't mind the missing "tion"?

#16Every once in a while something like this comes up that reminds me how incredible Apple can be at engineering, and how much attention they can give to the details, when they really try. It's so strange to contrast this with, say, the egregious regressions that so commonly happen in their OSes.
Credit goes to the Engineers, not the company. Engineers are told what to do, they execute. Regressions in the OS is something you can blame the company for. Management decisions are not done by Engineers, they are executed by Engineers.
Wow. You really need to find a better place to work if you are in an environment which makes you feel like this.

I’m not really sure where you’re drawing a distinction here.
There's a trope that management always prioritizes new features over mitigating tech debt. I'm sure that happens on some teams, but without inside information it's a bit of a leap to assume that's what's responsible for this specific set of problems at this specific company.

#19I wonder if the audio are actual slowed-down recordings or re-creations? They sounded awfully sloshy for how little amounts of water there are.
They're all recreations. Look up Foley if you want to be disappointed in almost everything you've heard on a TV show or movie. For example, elephants don't make loud thudding noises when they walk -- that's all made up.

There are two ways to waterproof something. Actually make it water proof, or go through elaborate games to trick the test.
It's sort of like the Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal. If you actually meet the requirements of the test you don't need to be clever.
