Won't charge. Says battery too hot.

I jumped in the pool with my watch on and found out it didn't like it. The screen flickered, but wouldn't come on. Using the tear down video and a 64 piece bit set both from ifixit, I was able to take the watch apart and let it dry out. After that I tried to charge it but got a triangle symbol message with a thermometer in it and it wouldn't charge. I left it off of the charger over night, then put it on the next day and it charged right up and behaved normally! Sadly, when the day was over and I went to charge it back up I got the same warning and it wouldn't charge. I employed the same method as before and it does charge after a few hours off the charger to "cool down"?? Has anyone else had this proiblem? If so, any advise?

I have Three things to cover

*is the watch waterproof?

  • did you teardown the watch before you jumped into the pool?
  • did you see bubbles in the watch when your in the pool

Hope this was Helpful

Or probably the battery got shorted and got hot.

The watch is only water resistant for 1 meter. I thought it was more, but it also can have its water resistance "damaged" if you drop or impact it in any way. I have done both. My bad.

I never tore it apart until after the pool incident.

And I did notice the back of the watch fogged up after I noticed that it stopped working.

But a quick update, it had stopped giving me the error for a while now. Hopefully it continues to charge normally. It does seem to only last 10 hours now when it used to last around 18 hours.
