Apple Watch is reasonably waterproof
I got a Casio Cosmo Phase since the time and date are always visible, along with the solar system simulation (makes it easy to know which planets are up after sunset and before sunrise to know if you'll take out your C9.25). Battery lasts for several years, it is actually waterproof (can do swimming and snorkeling) not just splash-resistant like the Apple Watch, it has the basics you'd want from a watch like multiple alarms, count-down timer, stopwatch, a very responsive button interface and I can tell you it is resilient as it has been working great for me since 1989!
The fact is, many many people, me included, have swum/showered with their Apple Watch for well over a year [1]. Even swimming in the ocean is totally fine as long as you wash it afterwards.
The reason Apple didn't say it's good for swimming is that the UI simply doesn't function when you swim with it (also not sure if the defined apps are designed to support swim tracking).

Re:Wha?!?!!!
Heck even the images from the "Grab" program in the recent versions of OSX have the original Grab icon from NeXTSTEP [osxdaily.com]
But now, it's just nostalgia. Like Clarus the DogCow.

Re:IANALCompletely anecdotal, I dated a director of HR. And I can tell you, in general, they do NOT look out for the employees. In this day and age they are no longer the "brokers" between management and employees. Their sole purpose is to do the will of the upper management. That's not going to surprise anyone, I think the evilness of HR is pretty much common knowledge among this crowd.

Claris and clarus are related
Clarus the DogCow have a long-standing relationship of mutual disrespect. Claris the company provided some of Apple's best early software, including MacDraw and MacPaint and FileMake -- as well as the infamous turd known as AppleWorks.
"1989 - the legendary TechNote 31
In April 1989 Mark Harlan, with the help of Mark Johnson, wrote TechNote 31 as an April Fools' Day joke for Apple's developer community. It clarified certain matters regarding the Dogcow. Mark also revealed her real name: Clarus (a private joke about an internal Apple project named Claris that was terribly late at that time).
By now, Clarus was known outside of Apple labs and it seems that even Microsoft used her in an advertisement! Later Microsoft also used her in PowerPoint."
