Hi there eseroma,
If your Apple Watch isn't responding and appears to be stuck on the Apple logo, a forced restart is necessary to see if that will resolve the issue:
Force restart your Apple Watch
You should force restart your Apple Watch as a last resort and only if it's not responding.
Don’t force restart your Apple Watch if you're updating watchOS. After you see the Apple logo and progress wheel, leave your watch alone and on its charger until the update finishes.
To force restart your Apple Watch, press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.
Have a look at the related article linked in blue at the top left corner of this page for more information about restarting your Apple Watch.
If the issue persists afterwards, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support directly. They're best-equipped to take a closer look and provide some additional guidance. This link will help you get started: Contact - Official Apple Support
Take care.
