Apple watch stuck in thermometer setting what do I do? Tried forced restart

Hi kieshafromatlanta,

Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities!

It sounds like you're only seeing a thermometer on your Apple Watch display, correct?

If so, this indicates that the Apple Watch was too warm and had to take some time to cool down. Check out this resource which explains what's happening and what you can do about it: Keep Apple Watch within acceptable operating temperatures - Apple Support

If your Apple Watch experiences above-normal temperatures, it displays only a red thermometer and the time.

Here's what to do:

1. If you're wearing your device, remove it from your wrist. If your Apple Watch is in the process of charging, remove it from its charger. Your watch automatically turns off a few seconds after displaying the thermometer. If you leave your watch on the charger, your watch won't turn off. If you try to turn your watch back on, the red thermometer will appear again. 

2. Move your Apple Watch to a cooler place and let it cool down before putting it back on or continuing to charge it. When your watch cools down, it automatically turns back on.

3. If you're making cellular calls on a cellular model of Apple Watch in an area with a weak cellular signal, move to a location with a stronger signal.

We hope this helps.

Cheers!
