Blaze got wet and now it does not work

My blaze got wet. I thought it was strange the watch malfunctioned when it was NOT fully submerged in water. Right now I have it in rice but I am worried it will not work again.

Hi @nicmfb  it's splashproof, but not waterproof - see page 34 of the user manual. Be sure to keep it in the rice about 48 hours. Once you remove it, clean all connectors on it before charging it. You caught it quickly enough and was smart enough to get it into the rice, so there is always hope. Let us know what happens.

Thank you for the follow up. Yes, it was definitely a splash water that
damaged it. It was not submerged in water. In fact, I did not even realize
it had got wet until it started to malfunction.

I will leave it in rice for 2 days but per the other reviews on here, it
does not appear that method works.

There are even reviews online that say don't bother trying to dry out electronics with rice. At the very least, try leaving it turned off at least a couple days, I had a phone accident and currently the phone is sitting out in the sun turned off. Might give it three days before turning on again. If it's wet inside and on, it could short out. Good chance even if it works for now, corrosion will be starting inside.
