My series 3 Apple Watch is stuck on the Apple logo

I haven’t used my watch in a while and it’s been sat in my draw, I got it out to use and after charging it it’s now stuck on the Apple logo. I tried unpairing it , also restarting it and turning it off by pressing both buttons but nothing is working.

I no have an unpaired watch click on the logo , it switches off but when it turns back on only goes back to the logo.

has anyone got an idea how I can fix this please ?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 8

Hello Kirkykirk23,


For issues with the Apple Watch being stuck at the Apple logo the best available step would be to try force restarting it: Restart Apple Watch


Force Apple Watch to restart
If you can’t turn off your Apple Watch or if the problem continues, you may need to force your Apple Watch to restart. Do this only if you’re unable to restart your Apple Watch.
To force restart, hold down the side button and the Digital Crown at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.


If that hasn't helped then the next step would be to explore getting the Apple Watch serviced. To explore available options in the region you may try reaching out to Apple Support here: Apple Support


Cheers.
