Apple Watch 6 was splashed with pool water which I then took off and placed in a dry place. 30 minutes later my watch was flashing with the apple logo sign. A few hours later the battery died and now it won’t charge. Aren’t these watches water proof? I’ve had this watch for just over 2 years and isn’t covered. Is it worth buying another one. False advertising apple! Very disappointed
Your Apple Watch is water resistant, but not waterproof. Resistance is not permanent and not guaranteed.

Apple Watch Series 2 and later can be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean, but you shouldn't use models other than Apple Watch Ultra for diving, water skiing, or other activities involving submersion below shallow depth or high-velocity water.
I never get mine wet. I would never swim in it despite the wording because having experienced this with Seiko when they said "well you must have immersed it too deep" I don't trust the spec.
Too many iphones ruined trying to take underwater photos in rock pools and the like. 999/1000 you'd get away with it, we have to explain to the 1000'th
Yes, this can with a water resistant watch. But water resistance is not a permanent condition. It can fade over time, that is why the watch is not water proof
