Apple Watch Series 4 - Stuck on Water mode.

My Apple Watch Series 4 Won't come out of water mode, the digital crown isnt doing anything.

Now I've seen numerous responses to other users with this issue and I'd like something that is helpful please.

Turning the crown until it beeps is NOT helpful, that's the problem, that's what doesn't work.

Swiping up from the bottom is NOT helpful. It's on water mode so the screen won't work until the crown works.

hard reset (holding in both buttons) does not work it simply comes back on in water mode with unresponsive bezel.

I fear the only option might be to factory reset the apple watch or get it repaired which would be a shame as its not actually that old.

Also unable to update as it was already up to date.

Any one got a suggestions ?

At this point, if possible, your best option may be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store near you and let them look at it:
