Hard reset doesn't work.

Hi there,

I've tried many times to hard reset my apple watch by holding down both the crown and side button, but the apple logo only appears for 5 seconds and the screen blacks out again.

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 7

You need to hold the buttons for approx. 10 seconds.
