Apple Watch My Apple Watch got really hot and erratic after a swim in the ocean and now it’s just a black screen and doesn’t even react when I put it on the charger. I’ve swam with it many times, but always fresh water. Is it fried, or is there a way to force it on? Is salt water harder on the watches than fresh water? I’ve tried the recommended force on of depressing both buttons on the side.

Watch series 4 water damage I recently purchased an Apple Watch series 4 and I went swimming with it for the first time and now it won’t turn on. At first it was cycling on and off, so I took it off to dry and now it is extremely hot and won’t turn on. Has anyone experienced this?

Keep tuning the crown in an upward motion to expel as much water as possible. Next, make an appointment with an Apple Store Genius Bar.....https://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
