My Apple Watch screen won’t turn on

I had my apple watch on water reserve in the water. It died even though I charged it that night before. It will send me a notification that my Apple Watch is fully charged but the screen won’t turn on. I have tried to hold down the crown and the power button at the same time for over 10 seconds. I tried holding the power button down for over 10 seconds too. If anyone has anything else for me to try. I would love to know and try.

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 8

Sorry, but this looks like water damage, and you should contact the official Apple Support about that or visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider.

Depending on the age of the Apple Watch, the function of the seals inside the watch can diminish over time, making it less water resistant.
