Can I shower with my Apple Watch 4?

While activities like washing your hands and showering while wearing an Apple Watch Series 2, 3, or 4 are technically okay, Apple doesn't recommend exposing your device to soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and perfumes as these substances can "negatively affect water seals and acoustic membranes" on the device.
