Hello, I would like to know how you solved it, I have the same problem

Hi Sean,

That link doesn’t mention this symbol at all, and so, does not answer this question.

I’d normally sign off with best, but since you didn’t read either the post you’re commenting on or the article you cited—I will assume you won’t read this either. (:

Worst,

Noah

Your hyperlink did not address the issue.

Hello! This recently happened to me as well. What solved it for me was plugging the magsafe charger with the watch into my MacBook overnight and charge it that way. I think using a brick works too, I originally went with the MacBook so that the charge could be more gradual due to the lower amperage of the port compared to a brick. That ultimately brought the watch back to life. I’m assuming that the battery was just really dead to the point it couldn’t even display the time, hence it likely needed an extra while to charge lol.

Great but my watch charger has a UBS which I can't stick into my mac air

Let me know if it works
