: Any ideas on how to get rid of this
: condensation inside the watch?

Probably be best to have it checked by a professional. They usually have equipment that will thoroughly extract the moisture and they can check to see that no further damage was done.

But the cheap, temporary trick is to take a small jar, half fill it with uncooked rice, open the crowns on the watch, place the watch on top of the rice (avoid getting the crowns down in the rice, you don't want rice dust to get in), and close the jar. Leave it that way for several days. The dry rice will draw moisture away from the watch.
