Ted lightening means it iyhe battery is totally drained. Charge it for several hours to see if it goes green.


The article If your Apple Watch won't charge or it won't turn on - Apple Support including the advice to Force Restart near the end of the article is the best resource for this situation. If you've completed that troubleshooting and the issue is still not resolved, use the link in the article to Contact Support. Note that recent Watches without plastic protective packaging do not usually have film over the watch back or charging puck.
