Gear S3 Overheating

[Members_j5sZTek]

I've had my watch for about 3 years now and never really any issues that couldn't be solved by rebooting. 2 days ago, I was out mowing the yard and got a phone call and then my watch sent notification that is was overheating and shut down. After a few hours, I powered back up and it gave the same warnings and died. I charged all night and powered on next morning. Everything seemed fine but while sitting in church, I got the dire overheating message and it shut down. I haven't been able to get it to stay on and now, I can't even get it to charge. Is this something that can be cleaned and/or repaired?

@Members_j5sZTek 3 years is the typical lifespan of a LiIon battery. I would suspect that your battery has failed. You can contact your local https://www.ubreakifix.com/ for diagnosis.

My watch is doing the exact same thing and it's only 1yr old.

We understand how frustrating this is. If the watch is able to be powered on, there are some troubleshooting steps you can try. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01003100/ 

If the troubleshooting is ineffective, we recommend taking a look at the newest Samsung Watches available, as the Gear S3 has reached the end of support. https://www.samsung.com/us/watches/
