    Hi

     

    On your iPhone, close the Watch app along with all other open apps (double-press on the Home button, swipe up on the previews).

     

    Then try force restarting both devices (the iPhone first, followed immediately by the watch, whilst the iPhone is still restarting):

    - iPhone: press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home button for around 10 seconds, until you see the logo.

    - Watch: press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for around 10 seconds, until you see the logo.

     

    If that does not help, contact Apple Support or make a Genius Bar reservation with a view to having your watch repaired / replaced under warranty. If you contact Apple Support, they may be able to offer you mail-in service:

    "If you see the Apple logo .. during startup, and your Apple Watch appears to restart or never fully starts up, contact Apple Support"

    If your Apple Watch doesn't respond or won't turn on - Apple Support
