Apple Watch 6. Was trying to update software when it was charging and phone can’t connect. Watch is now in power reserve mode and nothing I do turns it on again. Have tried pressing rectangular button for 10+ seconds, nothing. Reset, nothing. Any suggestions as am a bit desperate now. Thanks

Thank you so much. In the end I left it on charge all night and then did the reset. It is now working. Really appreciate you input.
We are very happy to hear your Apple Watch is working as expected now!
Thank you very much for the update. It was a pleasure assisting you today.
