Showering with Apple Watch Series 2 and newer is ok, but we recommend not exposing Apple Watch to soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and perfumes as they can negatively affect water seals and acoustic membranes. Wearing Apple Watch in the sauna or steam room.

If the Digital Crown gets stuck or won't move, it might be because of dirt or debris. If you find substances like dust or lotion around the Digital Crown, follow these steps to clean, and repeat as needed: Turn off your Apple Watch and remove it from the charger.
These days, more and more electronic devices are water resistant, including the Apple Watch. Unless you've got a first-generation Watch, you can wear it in the shower, while swimming in a pool or lake, and while running until you sweat.
The Digital Crown is Apple's answer to the crown found on mechanical watches. Historically, the crown is used to set the date and time on a wristwatch, and to wind the mainspring to keep the watch running. Apple Watch users can press the Digital Crown to return to the Home screen, much like the home button on iPhone.
Apple Watch is water resistant 50 meters. Perfect for swimming, surfing, or water balloon fights.
Turn off your Apple Watch and remove it from the charger. If you have a leather band, remove it from your Apple Watch. Hold the Digital Crown under lightly running, warm, fresh water from a faucet for 10 to 15 seconds. Soaps and other cleaning products shouldn't be used.
Turn that watch over and you'll notice a buildup of grime and disgusting “something brown” discoloring your (high dollar) band. That stinky buildup is the result of hours of sweating, running, climbing, cooking, working, and simply living with your watch on your wrist.
Sweating during exercise, use of lotion, or just dust or dirt can cause the Apple Watch's Digital Crown scroll wheel to get stuck and not turn as it should. Turn off your Apple Watch by holding down the button on the side until the Power Off option is displayed.
