Toilet Rascal
I think this is the right thread for this, but let me know if I'm wrong about that.

I have a Samsung Gear S3 and I think it's hosed. I've had it maybe two years and I noticed a couple of weeks ago that there was a hairline fracture in the glass on the back. The pulse sensor wasn't working very well. I figured, OK as long as that's all that doesn't work, I'm OK with it. I wear the watch constantly but mainly use it for running and biking.

Sunday the battery started draining really badly. It's done this before but I chalked it up to signal searching or something. But this time it went from 100% to 0% in about two hours (normally at the end of the day it's at 60%, and I charge it every night). I charged it the rest of the day, to 100%.

Yesterday (Monday) I left it on the charger until I went on a bike ride, and it died after two hours. Brought it home and now it won't even charge - either the charger light flashes red, or there's a red triangle on the watch (looks like a high temp warning to me).

Sounds to me like it's hosed somehow, but can you guys confirm that it really is hosed?
