Black screen - still vibrates - iwatch 5

My iwatch 5 is connected to my phone as I can see the battery and change features but the screen is black. I am unable to complete a hard reset and I have also charged it fully. The watch will vibrate and will also talk when changed to VoiceOver, but I've tried everything but the screen will not come on. I have also unpaired it and manually repaired it. Any advice?


Thanks!

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 7

Hello Jkosinski2,


Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with your Apple Watch and a black screen.


Please start with checking if your watch displays anything from this help article: If your Apple Watch won't charge or it won't turn on - Apple Support


Otherwise, try the restarts here. If a normal restart doesn't help, try the force restart: How to restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support


Cheers.
