clock spinning / loading stuck even after re pairing

I charged my watch last night and after I took it off the charger and put it back on it will no longer show the watch face. It shows a mini clock icon with dots spinning around it. The buttons both work and it will run other apps but I can’t get the watch face to show. I restarted the watch a couple times. It shows the watch face immediately after the restart but once the screen shuts off and I try to turn it back on I get the icon with the spinning dots. I also tried unpairing, pairing and restoring but still have the same problems. Has anyone seen this happen before? I’m hoping to avoid a trip to the Apple store but it’s not looking good.
