My Apple Watch Series 6 is damaged by the water. What can I do?

This is the interior of my Apple Watch Series 6 with serious damage by water. It is supposed to be Waterproof, well it isn't.... Shortly after my 1 year warranty expired, the watch stopped working. Apple doesn't cover it anymore even if this is their faulty product. I went to an Apple Store and they can't do anything.


I used it as any normal person with a waterproof watch, in the pool, in the sea, I honestly didn't expect this to be as bad as it is.


Be careful! They're not waterproof....

You're right, Apple Watch is NOT waterproof. Apple never said it was. Apple has always said Apple Watch is water resistant. That's a significant difference. Your subject asks what you can do? Since you've already learned the watch is damaged beyond repair, you recycle the watch and buy a new watch.

No purpose in us debating this here. This is a user to user only forum. No one here works for Apple. Apple never said as you suggested above that Apple Watch is Waterproof. That would indeed be false, but they specifically say Apple Watch is Water Resistant. That's a significant difference.


Either way, you need to take your grievance to Apple directly. There is nothing any of us users can do to help you.
