Same issue here. Updated to watch OS 10.1 and after reading other threads probably had optimized charging turned on with the update. My watch stopped charging and is now stuck in low power mode with the red charging symbol but won’t ever turn on or allow a reset. I’ve tried leaving it on the charger for 24 hrs as well as letting it run down to completely dead, no change in results.
