Is water alone not good enough of a conductor to basically eliminate closing the circuit as the culprit?

Correct, pure water doesn't conduct electricity. It needs something with active ions like salt to conduct.
I wasn't exactly talking about pure water when I posted that and I'm pretty confident that the watch's IP67 rating does not only apply to distilled water.
LG has released a software update to address this issue. It cuts power to the contacts when the watch is removed from the charger. The current software number end in V, the new in Y

OK LG said not our problem. You are allergic.
They stated that the metals in use are copper and stainless steel, no heavy metals which should cause an allergy. I said could it be a voltage discharge then and they said no.
Basically it was go away.
Ok so just reset my watch and got the KMV78Y firmware which is supposed to fix the issue after doing a check for system update following that reset. Let's see how it goes. I also called LG today and was promised a call back before 20:00 today ... That will be in 9 mins then. Not holding my breath.....
