Gear S2 Bluetooth won't turn on

[bett3r]

My S2 watch suddenly won't turn on its Bluetooth. I have turned on BT on my phone (obviously) and have tried to connect from the Galaxy Wearable app but no success. 

As seen in the video, I can't turn on the BT from the watch settings. I have tried force restart. The BT re-pairing between phone and watch won't work unless the watch BT is on. 

Help?

Greyed out AFTER I clicked to turn it on

The BT component might be fried. I would get the watch examined.

I'm trying to factory reset the Gear. Then....i give up lol

Update: I tried to reset the watch from settings and after a restart, this message came up. Help?

Yeah, this confirms that those components are now dead. There is unfortunately nothing we can do.

Only after 5 years? Now I know what level of quality Samsung products are...

Already did. Apparently it cost the same as getting a new watch at this point 😕
