Hey sindy33,


We see that you tried to pair your Apple Watch and now the screen is black.


Try restarting the Apple Watch normally, and if that doesn't work, try force restarting. The steps for a normal restart and force restart can be found here: How to restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support. This resource can also help out: If your Apple Watch won't charge or it won't turn on - Apple Support.
