My Apple Watch SE has water damage

I have an Apple Watch SE I went swimming with and it no longer turns on. I enabled the water lock beforehand. Please help since my warranty expired and I do not have Apple Care

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.

My Apple Watch won’t get out of water lock and I didn’t put it in water lock. I have held down the crown and it will not come out of the water lock which I didn’t put it in to begin with.

Salt water in apple watch I went snorkeling in my Apple Watch and now it’s acting up, unable to unlock. It worked for a while last night but is not unlocking now. When it was working I used the water out function.
