Not a good idea if you're wearing your watch while you do this. Soap and your Watch are not friends.

Can you explain / back that up? Otherwise I call BS.

At best, soap can temporarily gum up the digital crown. At worst, it can damage the Watch. Here's what Apple says:

Clean and dry your Apple Watch
Keep your Apple Watch clean and dry. Soaps, cleaning products, abrasive materials,* compressed air, ultrasonic cleaning, and external heat sources can cause damage and shouldn't be used with your Apple Watch.
To clean your Apple Watch, follow these steps:

1. Turn off your Apple Watch and remove it from the charger.
2. If you have a leather band, remove it from your Apple Watch.
3. Wipe your Apple Watch clean with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with fresh water. Or you can hold your Apple Watch under lightly running, warm, fresh water for 10 to 15 seconds. Soaps and other cleaning products shouldn’t be used.
4. Dry your Apple Watch with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth, including the surface of the back crystal.

* Apple Watch is manufactured with extreme care and precision, while leveraging state-of-the-art technology to provide the best customer experience. To ensure the watch maintains all functionality and to keep a consistent finish across the enclosure and external components, Apple does not recommend polishing or buffing the watch with abrasives.

Fair enough, I hadn’t seen that before, thanks for posting.

It isn’t going to stop me washing mine in the shower.
