Cloudy Apple Watch screen, clear moisture button fails

How do I clear cloudiness on my Apple watch screen? (I accidentally stepped into the shower with it on). I have tried using the clear moisture button a number of times.

Sorry, but the Water Lock only clears the openings of the watch by expelling water.

If water has entered the case of the watch, this can not be fixed and will lead to further damage over time.


You will have to get the watch serviced by Apple, and if you are willing got pay the service fee for "Other Damage" they will replace the whole unit.


You can get an estimate for your Apple Watch model on this Apple Watch Service page, including all the needed links to start the service process:
