Can’t.
Yes it will spread and you’ll have to replace the display. Hopefully you purchased AppleCare+.
Only you can make the decision in the end, as you know your own preference.
Sell, get anything with an Apple M series processor to replace it.
You can’t overcharge a lithium battery, there are many mechanisms in place to make sure that doesn’t happen as an overcharged lithium battery is dangerous (common misconception that leaving a device on charge after it’s at 100% will “overcharge it”). Yes it is normal for a device in standby to lose charge as it is still using power to connect to the phone, WiFi, and cellular (if a cellular model). Also 88% battery health is somewhat low and is usually the point at which I sell my watch for a new model to improve battery life.
Plan to buy a new one. Water damage is extremely hard, if not impossible to repair especially on a device this small and complicated.
It happens sometimes when doing updates and charging, it’s basically working the watch for all the computing power it has. Nothing to worry about as long as it is only when doing updates.
Normal symptoms for liquid damage, chances are the machine is done for as it will keep corroding. Get all your data backed up while the machine still works.
A series 3 is absolutely terrible to use even if technically compatible. I’ve seen the original SE on sale for $150 new at Walmart, that would be a much, much better choice longevity wise.
Placebo.
No. Obviously not.
