Is there any way to resurrect this watch from the mri experience??? tried to charge it but not working. tried hard start.... could charge it for a few days then would not charge. Any suggestions or just time to get a new watch????
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7
You most likely zapped it. I'm sure the watch is not designed for that. All I suggest is that you contact Apple Support.
Since MRIs emit very strong magnetic pulses they will likely fry ANY electronic device, not just Apple watches. Just saying.
A few years ago, there were several stories about MRI causing Apple Watches to fail.
How did they let you in there with a watch on??
I've had a few MRI's and they are like guard dogs on metal of any sort.
I don’t want to blame the staff, but I do agree with you. I have always been checked carefully at other facilities!!
Could have been a lot worse than a damaged watch.
Good luck!
This may be a total coincidence, but after several days of not being able to charge my watch at all, I gave up. Then, after about a week, I put my watch on a magnet for about 5 minutes, then placed it on the Apple Watch charger and it charged!!!!! I still don’t have haptics, but all seems to be working otherwise. We will see if it lasts!!!
oops wore it in MRI. Won't charge. Is it ruined?
