Unable to start Apple Watch after swimming

I wore my iWatch for swimming workout just now and I realised it was off and I could not start it by pressing both button. I put it to charge for 2 hours still could not see Apple logo.

Apple Watch SE won’t turn on after going swimming I went swimming with my Apple Watch for the first time over the summer. I swam in the pool for around 5-10 minutes and the screen went black and all that has now been showing is the Apple logo. I’ve charged it multiple times and the watch just gets hot and the apple logo is flashing on and off the screen. Is there any way to fix this?

My Apple Watch Ultra does not start at all after swimming in the pool After swimming in the pool for about 20 minutes the screen of my Apple Watch Ultra went black. For a while, the Apple logo was displayed but it disappeared. Tried to reset, unsuccessfully. Randomly the “snake” logo appears on the screen. I left it charging over the night. The watch warms up a little but this is all.

Unable to turn on apple watch I went swimming today, but not for long. My watch was is water lock mode, but then it suddenly started calling the 911 emergency line. I had to to stop and then the green light in the bottom kept flashing. It is finally off, but the apple logo keeps flashing. I have attempted to hold both buttons down and it is still not working. Just shows the logo and goes back to the black screen.

Happened to me too. I’ve had the watch for 1.5 years but this was the first time I tried taking it swimming. It immediately started acting weird then went black and won’t turn on.

Great manufacturing quality control Apple… 🙄

It might be water damage best to have it checked out at an apple store.
