No, Apple Watch is splash and water resistant, but not waterproof.
The Apple Watch has a water resistance rating of IPX7 under IEC standard 60529. This means the watch will survive if you wash your hands while wearing it or if it gets caught in the occasional rain storm, but you should take it off when swimming.
Apple CEO Tim Cook allegedly told an employee he wears Apple Watch everywhere, "even in the shower", however Apple does not recommend submerging Apple Watch.

Current Android Wear watches are made to IP67 standards. The IP Code (IP means "ingress protection") classifies electrical enclosures by the degree of protection provided. The first digit (6) means it is completely dust proof while the second digit (7) indicates water resistance.
With a rating of IPX7, Apple Watch is water resistant to a depth of one meter (about 3.3 feet) for up to 30 minutes.
