Good day Paul,
Thank you for sharing your sentiments with us about your experience with using the Samsung Galaxy Watch FE. We appreciate your thoughts as we strive to improve the design and functionality of your product line. Samsung provides a 12-month warranty for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. We also offer Samsung Care+ which can be added to eligible devices. It's similar to extended warranty and an insurance package combined that provides protection beyond the standard manufacturer's warranty. It would cover events like accidental damage, mechanical breakdowns, and potentially theft and loss. Samsung Care+ offers you the ultimate peace of mind when added to your eligible devices. The Galaxy Watch FE is water-resistant but not waterproof. It is capable of handling some water exposure like rain or sweat, but not prolonged submersion. Feel free to review, "Samsung smart watch water resistance tips" and "Use Water lock mode to swim with your Samsung smart watch" to help resolve what you may be experiencing with your device. Feel free to reach out to Samsung Support afterward if you have any questions or if you would like any further assistance. Thank you for being a steadfast Samsung customer.
- Debra
