Re:WR50 not good enough for swimming (Score 1)

My problem with using an Apple watch to swim laps doesn't have to do with its waterproof rating but with the rules at public swimming pools in my area that prohibit wearing watches while swimming. The rationale for the rule is that if you hit the watch against the side of the pool and break the crystal, glass shards can end up in the pool and cut someone's foot. Broken glass is also very difficult to clean up from the bottom of a large pool. I wonder if the new "crack resistance" of the series 7 will be enough to get the pools to change their policy.
