the damage could also be from the fall, not from the water... you could go snorkel with that thing :D
I also have a story to tell about a Samsung device and water... I own a Gear S3 watch and it's also waterproof. When I was at the Mexican carribean and went on a snorkeling trip, I forgot to put it off, snorkeled with it. When I realized, it was still on, my first thought was "FCK!!!" because I lost a non-waterproof fitbit years ago the same way. But then I was like "well, fck it, it should sustain that". An hour and a very beautify sea turtle sighting later after I got out of the water, the watch was still working but had very strange distortions on the display. Colors missing, pixels flipping, very strange. I backed up my data, switched it off and mentalle prepared to write it off. But two days later, it was like nothing had happened. I have the watch still, two years later, and it's fine.

Yep, that's my main fear! I put it in a bowl of rice and we'll see in a couple hours if it's good to go.

And lol on that story hahah! I'm glad your watch was fine :)

I once went swimming with a mechanical watch (forgot about it till I was out), and I didn't have such a good experience. Water got inside and it was ticking but the hands didn't move. I took it to a shop and... they fixed it. Then I left it there cuz I forgot about it for so many months and now I don't even remember where the shop is. It's been like 2 or 3 years. I bet they moved shop and have it in a box in their storage, grabbing dust, or maybe they sold it, dunno. I don't even have the receipt anymore.
