Water, and even a wash cycle, won't necessarily kill electronics. If

The manufacturing of modern electronics is done with water-based flux
for the solder. After the boards have all the components soldered to
them, they are run through a cleaner that is pretty much a glorified
dishwasher.

Many years ago I jumped into Lake Geneva with my beeper (pager) on. It
survived after a few days to dry out and a new battery. Good old
Motorola made in the US!
