App watch ultra doesn’t turn on

I got in the water with my AW ultra for the first time. I used the water lock function. The watch worked properly since the measurements of the depth seemed correct. When I got out the screen was black. I though the battery was dead but when I tried to charge it it didn’t do anything. The screen remains black. The forced reset doesn’t work either. What can I do?

My Apple Watch Series 3 won’t turn on after being in the water (on water lock mode) I’ve had my Apple Watch Series 3 for about 3 years and have never experienced any problems with it. A few days ago I went for a swim, and I turned on water lock mode. Once I got out of the water forgot to eject the water by turning off water lock mode. Later that day, I noticed the Apple Watch displayed a black screen and I tried to force restart it. It did not work, so I ignored the problem and put it on charge later that night. That did not work, so I left it on charge for a couple days, then proceeded to try some tips I found online. I used all of the apple support suggestions, plus a few I found on google. I don’t know how to turn my Apple Watch back on again.

Watch doesn’t turn on I have an Apple Watch Series 6 - long story short I went swimming with it on and had the water lock feature turned on. It then died due to low battery and now when I try turn the device on it’ll show the Apple logo and then switch off instantly. I went to the Apple Store and even though they didn’t know what the issue was they wanted to charge me £280 to fix it. Can someone help/advise me on what to do?

Your best plan at this stage is to check the charger is working, correctly plugged in, and powered (just to avoid any embarrassing human error). If that fails to get it working your Apple Watch Ultra is still within Apple's 12 month warranty period so just get Apple to check it out. Contact Apple Support to begin the process.
