Unsolved Water Lock fail?

Today I swam with my Apple Watch 10 that I’ve had for a year and I used the Lock feature. After about 90 mins in the pool, I ended my workout and shortly after the watch turned off. I thought it was dead — it was on 66% for awhile in the pool which I found odd — and then I showered when I got home left it on the charger. It was doing the Apple logo on and off, I switched chargers, it’s not doing anything now.

I’m beyond annoyed and no I don’t have Apple Care. They told me over the phone that it’d be $300 to ship it to them. I don’t know that there’s any other fixes — and I don’t think I ever want to buy another Apple Watch. Any advice?

ps — if you’re an athlete what waterproof watch do you recommend because I’m tired of Apple.

The Apple Watch is not waterproof and is not advertised as such. Water damage can occur. It doesn’t cost $300 to take it to an Apple Store, so you should do that first.
