Apple watch won’t start up

My Apple watch won’t turn on. It remains on the Apple logo. I have tried a hard reset with no success.

Apple Watch, watchOS 4

If the Apple Watch has stopped responding, performing a force restart is the way to go. Steps needed are found in the Apple Support article: Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support

i.e. 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.

If you've completed that troubleshooting and the issue is still not resolved, Contact Support to arrange repairs or further help.
