Apple watch will not work after doing a factory reset.

My apple watch was not syncing to my phone all the time so I tried doing a factory reset after simply restarting the watch and phone. After doing the reset only the apple logo appears and then turns off. I already made sure it was charged by leaving it on the charger overnight.

Try a forced reset;

To force reset your Apple Watch, press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.
