Apple Watch Water Damage: Signs, Fixes & When to Seek Repair

Apple Watch Water Damage: What You Need to Know

Despite being water-resistant, your Apple Watch isn’t fully waterproof and water damage can still happen. Whether it’s a quick swim or accidental submersion, water can sneak into places it shouldn’t, affecting performance or even causing the device to stop working entirely.

At SPR, we’ve seen hundreds of water-damaged Apple Watches and successfully brought many back to life. Here’s what you should know.

Common Signs of Water Damage

Not all damage is obvious. Here are the most common symptoms of water exposure:

• Unresponsive touchscreen

• Fast battery drain or failure to charge

• Flickering or black screen

• Distorted sound or no sound at all

• Fog under the screen or camera lens

• Unexpected reboots or software glitches

If you’re seeing any of these signs, your Apple Watch may have internal water damage.

What to Do Immediately

If your Apple Watch gets wet:

1. Turn it off – This prevents short circuits.

2. Don’t charge it – Charging a wet device can worsen damage.

3. Dry it gently – Use a soft cloth to remove external moisture.

4. Avoid using heat – No hairdryers or microwave tricks!

5. Visit a repair specialist – The sooner you act, the better the chances of saving your watch.

Does Apple Cover Water Damage Repairs?

Unfortunately, Apple’s standard warranty does not cover water damage, even for models advertised as water-resistant. While Apple Watches can handle minor splashes or sweat, internal leaks or prolonged exposure to water can cause serious damage — and these issues are not covered under AppleCare or the standard warranty.
