My Apple Watch will not turn on

Ive had my Apple Watch for less than 2 days. I put it on the charger last night before bed and now it will not respond to anything. It won't turn on at all. Any idea how to get this $1000 POS to work?

Force Restart your watch:


Press and hold BOTH the digital crown and power buttons at the SAME TIME. Keep holding BOTH until the Apple Logo appears (can take several seconds), then let go.


I can understand your frustration, but calling it a POS is a bit unnecessary. Most people have no such issue with their Apple Watch Ultra. I most assuredly don't.


Are you using the charger with came with your watch?


And as with any piece of electronics, a minor percentage can fail. If the Forced Restart doesn't get you back up and running, you have a full one year warranty, so take it to your closest Apple Store for evaluation and options.
