iwatch wont charge or turn on

After a quick dip in the pool yesterday my watch started calling 911/sos. I tried turning it on and off which wouldn't work so I disabled the feature on my paired iphone. Bought in May of 2021. Any ideas or is it run it's life?

Hello Iwatchuser1,


While the Apple Watch is water resistant, it isn't waterproof, and there are steps that should be taken prior to water exposure like swimming. Details are listed at About Apple Watch water resistance - Apple Support


In this case, as there may be physical damage, you'll do best by visiting a local store so the watch can be inspected in person.
