Curious swimming app for the Apple Watch that will never see the light

app-pool

When Apple officially launched the Apple Watch, it explained that the device was able to withstand water (IPX7 certified) but not to bathe with it in the pool or spend many hours in the water. Come on, shortly after being put on sale they began to launch videos of users who wanted to know the limits of the clock and they were left under the water in the pools, showers or basins with water ... Now we have just seen an application created by a developer that goes beyond a simple water test for the watch, this application is created to measure distances in addition to monitoring our body thanks to the HealthKit application.

Obviously all this is recorded on video in which the measurements made by the Apple Watch are also compared with those of a Pebble:

After a few strokes (200 meters of pool) and a clear example that holds the water well, the app records several data: heart rate, time and lap counter to the Apple Watch. Tests conducted by Ted Bradley and his team they were held in the swimming pool of the London Aquatic Center.

This application will never see the light in the app store, and is that Apple does not allow the use of applications that cannot be used correctly on the device. If for any reason the watch is damaged and the cause is water, it may not be covered by the warranty, so the recommendation is that you do not get your watch wet, although you can see in videos that absolutely nothing happens when it we make.
