Apple Watch stuck on the Apple

How can you force an Apple Watch to power down (or do anything for that matter) when it’s stuck on the white Apple logo and pressing the side button and crown to force restart does not work?

Is your Apple Watch still charging, if you connect it to the adapter?

If yes, let it sit there for a while and try again to force restart it, if it does not start automatically.


In case the Force Restart does not work, you will have to get the Apple Watch serviced by contacting the Apple Support or by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place.
