Galaxy 4 - battery expansion and failure to keep watch waterproof

[Members_SIFIXdm]

Hi,

My Galaxy 4 watch had an expanding battery this summer and the watch finally failed due to corrosion which was introduced into the watch due to the case failing from the expanding battery.

Is the watch still under warranty since the failed battery was the root cause of the corrosion?

@Members_SIFIXdm You would need to contact Samsung support directly to determine that. My guess is that when the battery started expanding, Samsung probably would have taken care of it. But not getting that taken care of in a timely manner may have impacted this repair.
