If you have charged your watch in accordance with the charging instructions (see link below), but still have a black screen even after pressing and holding the side button, try force restarting your watch: press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for around 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.


If your watch does not restart, contact Apple Support or make a Genius Bar reservation with a view to having it serviced under warranty:

- Contact - Official Apple Support
