Apple Watch keeps shutting down

For the past few days my watch has been shutting down on its own, even though the battery isn’t empty. I can’t get it to turn on again, unless I’m charging it. And then it shows a battery percentage that isn’t even near being empty (50% for example).


Any tips on how to solve this?

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup. This deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
