Love the Watch.

 
Before I had purchased it, feared what would happen when swam with it on. Works like a dream.
 
One annoyance. When I shower, the force of the water I guess, forces it into Power Saver mode, and I look down and the screen is black.
 
Any way around that?

Yes, the watch is waterproof.
Why would you wear it in the shower?
Soap, shampoo and anything else you use shouldn't be anywhere near your watch.

Some people forget to take it off and/or think it's OK since it's water resistant.  You can wear it in the shower, if you are only going to rinse off, but soap is a no-no.

Even though you should not be using it in the shower, if you do, put water lock on. It will prevent accidental touches from doing things like turning power save on. Unless you have an AOD, the screen will go black either way.
