You may not like to hear this, but a watch which wasn't charged for two years and is a Series 1 watch to boot, isn't likely going to work. It's no longer eligible for service from Apple and there's a great chance it can't hold a charge as Lion batteries when fully discharged for a period of time, often never come back to life long enough to hold a charge.


The watch has zero trade in value and it's WatchOS cannot be updated to work with more current iPhone iOS versions.


It really is time to consider buying a newer, more modern Apple Watch.
