Apple Watch Series 6

I bought an Apple Watch Series 6 on 05/19/21, the watch stopped working after swimming. The Water Lock function was turned on as I usually do when swimming. Apple support on site and by phone said that I had to buy a new one and there was nothing to do because it was out of the one-year warranty. It is a strange wonder that I will not use the Apple Watch anymore because I was doing what the equipment was designed for. Does anyone have the same issue with this model?

Apple Watch is water resistant, not water proof. Water resistance is a condition that wanes over time, so yeah, this happens.

Also, the water lock will not make your watch extra water resistant, it is only that the water will not turn on your screen.

You can use it while swimming, yes. But water resistance is still a condition that will wane over time. It is something entirely different than being water proof.

For customer service, we cannot help you, as we are apple users trying to help eachother here on this forums

This has happened to me constantly I have sent my iwatch 6 back more than 3 times and no matter what I do It keeps happening . I make sure it is set correctly and eject the water out every time. Can't find a solution anywhere or a solution other than not using it when I go swimming. Has this happened to anyone else ?

Plus customer service was horrible, APPLE sells stuff that stops working as soon as they are releasing a new device, there’s an open case regarding malfunctioning on their Apple Watches, google those things people before buying from them.

They should say that while selling the product, you probably work for Apple, and you are wrong again, don’t post without supporting your answers for apple SERIES 6, you are misleading because you are talking about old series.
