SOS Emergency Call kept flashing

My watch was flashing this and I wasn’t able to address at that time. At some point it shut down and I have been unsuccessful in starting back up. I’ve charged for 2 hours. I’ve pressed the side buttons multiple times. Sometimes the Apple logo will flash. This morning it seemed like it was back to working; then the same symptoms started again for a quick moment then shut down. It seems to have a little life. What can I do?

First try this:

If your Apple Watch won't charge or it won't turn on - Apple Support


If that doesn't help see the replies to:

My apple watch flashes the apple logo and… - Apple Community

My Apple Watch just stay on the apple log… - Apple Community


Your best option may be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store near you and let them look at it:

So, I was white water rafting the day this happened. Since I’ve had the watch, I had the call indicator on. The arm I had the watch on was on the top part of the paddle the whole time. If the SOS indicator was on due to that bouncing and I didn’t respond to it for that long period of time, could that cause this issue and are my reset options different?
