Software update (R870XXU1GVI3) Broke my device

Galaxy Watch 4, woke up to a notification of Software update (R870XXU1GVI3), while updating, the watch turned off, later on, the watch had still not turned on, wont turn on manually either, no charging icon either. Sent it in to Umklomelo Electronincs & IT. now some BS story about the screen and battery having Physical damage. this watch was in mint condition after leaving my wrist. Now they expect me to pay for repairs, caused by a faulty software update.
