I got shampoo in my Watch screen

iMore Question

I was on spring break and my watch was in the bag with a open container of shampoo and it went all over the place. 5 days past and shampoo is still in the screen and where the battery is. So i took the battery out and clean it then i tried to wash the watch and put it rice. Its not in rice yet but.. i was wondering if was doing something wrong or how do i fix it.
(the watch is a smartwatch from Walmart)

Wow, that's too bad. It sounds like you're taking all the right steps. Who is the manufacturer of your watch?

Based on this information, it doesn't sound like an Apple Watch. If that's the case, you may just be out of luck.

Please contact the manufacturer of the smartwatch for assistance and recommendations regarding this matter. Thank you.
