Apple Watch blank white screen

I woke up this morning with my apple watch having a blank white screen. If I force a reboot it comes right back up with the same blank white screen. If I put it on the charger and reboot it I get the same results. Any suggestions on how to resolve the issue. The watch is up to date.

In case it matters, my watch is a Series 4. I see lots of people with different series of Apple Watches having the issue, but no real answer other than taking it in for service. Knowing how much service repairs can cost I am not sure if having it repaired would be worth the cost considering the latest version is Series 8. The watch still has over 80% battery life so that is not the issue and as I said a reboot does not help.

I read thru many other entries with a similar problem. I think the problem was that I wore the watch in the shower. As I read in other entries it appears that the water resistance of the watch decreases with time and just that amount of exposure to water caused the screen problem. I have let it dry out for a few days now and each day the problem gets better.

My S6 44mm has a similar problem. When I interact with the watch, the screen turns all white. A very bright white. Reseting did not solve the problem. Already let it alone for a few days without charging and when I get back to it, putting it on charge, it just turns the screen on full white and gets very hot when charging and the screen is on.
