My Apple watch is dead. How do I fix it?

I noticed the watch began functioning differently. Couldn't not turn off sleep focus from watch was the first thing I noticed even though my setting are to mirror my phone. Then put it on the charger overnight and it was completely dead in the morning. Attempted to "reset" by holding button down with no luck. Series 3 Apple Watch

Hi there MommaGee,


If your Apple Watch won't power on, try force restarting it with the steps below to see if that resolves the issue for you:


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.

You'll find those steps here: Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support


If your Apple Watch still won't charge or turn on, work through all the suggestions in this support article: If your Apple Watch won't charge or it won't turn on - Apple Support


If the issue persists, then the next best step is to have your Apple Watch serviced. This link will help you get started: Apple Watch Service & Repair - Apple Support


Take care.
