iPhone, Apple Watch and even AirPods case: the stories of devices that were lost in a body of water are not at all uncommon, and many times surprise with the positive outcome.
Now, another case like this has entered the catalogue: that of Professor Jefferson Rocha who, during a water ride in Búzios (in the state of Rio de Janeiro), ended up losing your Apple Watch at sea following it detaches from your grip, as reported by G1.
When I went diving, my watch fell into the water, let go of my wrist and I just lost hope. I went down a depth, it released and I didn’t have a chance to keep looking. I dove in and got a sad face and got on the schooner once more.
The case happened on March 18 and, following the incident, Rocha said he was able to check the location of the device through the Buscar app (Find My) for the remainder of the ride, meaning the watch was still running.
I was disheartened. This watch has GPS, is water resistant. I didn’t know it was so sturdy. During the whole ride and until I got back to the ship I might see the location and it was in the middle of the sea, still on.
After returning from a trip, he decided to activate the watch’s Lost mode, whereby it is possible to add a phone number and a message – so that the person who finds it can contact the owner. What he didn’t expect, however, is that the next day he would receive a message stating that the device had been found.
The sender was Angelinna Bottinelli, daughter of the man who found the Apple Watch at sea — the fisherman and diver Benoni Antônio Filho, who arranged to deliver the watch to Rocha.
We are happy because there are still good people in the world. I just have to thank God that there are still honest, good-natured people like him and his family.
The Apple Watch was therefore returned and is in perfect working order, according to the owner. What a story, huh?!
