Ultra Watch dies after a swim I went for a swim in a 4 foot pool and when I got out the watch face turned red and started trying to call SOS. I got it to turn off and then it would only show the Apple insignia, turned really hot and died. I paid a lot of $ for that watch and a month later I have to pay another $100 (insurance) to get a replacement...really!!! What is Apple doing about these failures with no physical damage to the face or the back of the watch? What will Apple do for me the next time (i'm not feeling good about this as I see it happening from other blogs) so that I don't have to pay for another watch?

Wet Apple Watch stopped working My Apple Watch 6 was warn in a hot tub and was in front of a jet for several seconds. The watch tried calling 911 when I got out of the tub. Now the screen is blank and is unresponsive. Any chance it will come back to life?
