Hi ashok182,


It looks like your Apple Watch is installing an update.


If you've seen that screen for several hours, try forcing your Apple Watch to restart:

Force Apple Watch to restart

If you can’t turn off your Apple Watch or if the problem continues, you may need to force your Apple Watch to restart. Do this only if you’re unable to restart your Apple Watch.

To force restart, hold down the side button and the Digital Crown at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Restart Apple Watch
