Can I earn points for burning calories? Fitness devices calculate calorie burn differently. We are therefore unable to calculate points for Vitality-linked devices.

Can I use an Apple Watch to track swimming? Apple has advised that the Apple Watch Series SE GPS and Series 9 GPS are rated water resistant up to 50 meters, so you don't need to remove them when you are swimming, whether it's in a pool or in the ocean. The new speaker allows water in, and then uses sound vibrations to force it back out. However, certain bands available for the Apple Watch Series SE GPS or Apple Watch Series 9 GPS are not waterproof. Please consult with iStore when you collect your Apple Watch.
