This image came up on my Apple watch series 3. After I read blogs and watched numerous youtube videos i thought i was DOOMED! BUT there is a fix:


  1. Plug your USB Charging cord to a laptop
  2. While charging do a hard reset (hold down both buttons at the same time for 15 secs)
  3. Then leave your apple watch charging for at least 15-20 mins
  4. Watch should then turn on and begin charging normally


Hope this works for you all, so far ive been told by a few people this helped their watch come back to life!
