Apple Watch screen black
My Apple Watch screen is black, with no explanation. I have tried doing a hard forced restart three times and that is not working. Does anyone have any suggestions?

It may be a hardware problem. 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. If that is not possible, use the online Apple Support option. Either way:
Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple
PS - I am assuming you have made sure you are not in Theater Mode or have Do Not Disturb enabled:
Use Control Center on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Try these steps:
If your Apple Watch won't charge or it won't turn on - Apple Support
If you still need help, contact Apple Support.
Have done everything to try to force start and still have black screen. iPhone indicates that the watch is fully charged. Any help?
