This happened to mine again yesterday. I had this issue 2 weeks ago and I brought it to the apple store in Manchester, NH (in case apple even reads these). The employee told me I should send it out and not tell them I was swimming in my pool. I told him I wouldn't lie as I was in fact swimming in my pool. I asked for a manager and they told me it was too busy. They sent it. When it came back, they said apple was able to power it up. I tried for 4 days before I brought it to the apple store. The kicker is, I was going to be charged $299 for doing exactly what apple promotes the watch for being able to do. If it revives this time, I think i'll sell it. I love it, but not when it's becoming a $1200 watch that can be used for what it's intended.

I don’t because I’ve had every single iPhone and 6 iPads as well as 4 of every version of Apple TV and nothings ever gone wrong. This was my first watch. They sold me on the guy surfing with the watch on. If I ever even co soccer one, I’ll surely buy the Apple care. My watch did finally turn back on yesterday. It keeps going through resets and the crown spinning no longer works for any of the functions.
