My Apple Watch went into reserve power mode and is stuck on the Apple logo

My Apple watch went into reserve power mode, and I placed it on the charger. I took it off of the charger several hours later -- the white Apple logo appeared on the black screen, and I cannot get it into normal working "watch" mode. Have tried a hard reset holding both side buttons together, and only the one button alone without success.


Help, please!

Thanks. The watch only shows the white Apple logo on a black screen. No red or green lightning bolts.

If I push and hold both buttons on the right side, the screen will go black for a second or two, and then the Apple logo reappears.

Hi simor1947,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Wondering if your Watch may not have been charging:

The battery must have at least 10 percent charge for your Apple Watch to restart.


You might want to try putting the Watch back on the charger,.


If your Apple Watch is out of power, you might need to wait a few minutes for the green lightning bolt to appear after you start charging your device. 


How to Return to normal power mode after being in reserve power mode

Restart your Apple Watch—press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears
