Best Buy 1-star review by FrancisM (title: "Fake Apple Watch"). Owner said the received watch was fake/defective and had to be returned, with refund still in process at the time of the review. They called it unbelievable that Best Buy allowed a defective/fake unit to reach the buyer.

Speakers flooded after wet use with Water Lock

Speakers / audio path

Source-linkedVerify source — Best Buy review

Best Buy 1-star review by FrederickT (title: "Not Suitable for Wet Locations"). Despite dive marketing, showering with Water Lock filled the speakers with water and disabled phone audio and the siren until canned air cleared them. Apple support could not say whether it was a design flaw. Owner would not accept repeating that process after every shower, hot tub, or rain exposure.
