Hi Tinam922,


To clarify, when force restarting, were these the steps you took?


 "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."


This information is from the article you previously referenced, Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support


If so, and the watch still won't start up properly, contact Apple Support for additional assistance.


Take care.
