Apple Watch won't Charge after coming from Jamaica

I went to Jamaica last month and my watch powered down after the battery ran out. Since I came back I have not been able to get it to charge. I have tried two different charges, but it will give me the lightening icon and the time, but it will not charge.

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 7

Hi normally when a battery dies completely it can take a few hours to juice back up. Try leaving it on charge over night, and also perform a hard reset which should solve the problem:

To force restart your Apple Watch, press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.
