White screen of static

Yesterday my watch kept showing a locked screen. Later in the day, after restarting, it showed the screen in this article with the large “!” Explanation point and an Apple support link. I tried that, but the screen then turned to white static. Any thoughts?

Apple Watch blank white screen I woke up this morning with my apple watch having a blank white screen. If I force a reboot it comes right back up with the same blank white screen. If I put it on the charger and reboot it I get the same results. Any suggestions on how to resolve the issue. The watch is up to date.

Apple Watch Series 6 black screen My Apple Watch Series 6 stopped displaying anything, though it would still have vibrations. Now even the vibrations have stopped, and the screen is still black. I tried to hard reset it by holding the crown and side button, but nothing has happened. Does anyone have a solution?

Hello Lou-55,

It sounds like you've tried taking these steps to solve the issue with the '!' error on the Apple Watch: If your Apple Watch shows an iPhone and a watch or a red “!” - Apple Support

If that didn't solve the issue, then it would be best to bring in the Apple Watch for an inspection: Apple Watch Service & Repair - Apple Support

Get prepared for your visit: Get your Apple Watch ready for service - Apple Support

To determine any warranty coverage: Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support

Select 'Service' here and search nearby for locations: Find Locations

The technician that inspects the Apple Watch will be able to provide you more information on what's going on.

Wishing you safe travels to the store, take care.
