IP68 but water damaged?!?
My Gear S3 has been pronounced dead.
Performed the latest software update but watch wouldn't charge afterwards. Brought it down to Vivo, and was told that it is due to water corrosion rather than software update.
Water inside a IP68 rated device?!? Water Damage not covered under warranty?!?
Hand to my heart, I have never went swimming with it. The most I did was wash the watch under running tap. This IP68 rating must be a joke.
Quoted $400+ for repair, because double whammy: water damage is not covered under warranty, and in any case my 13 months old watch is out of warranty.
Took my watch back, threw it into the thrash. Pissed!
For all the bros here, please just take note that Samsung will not stand behind their IP68 certification.
