Apple watch Series 6 just blinks

I have an apple watch series 6 and the screen won't display. It's not cracked and hasn't been damaged. I believe It has a full charge because I can feel the haptic response when I press the screen. The display just blinks periodically. Is this worth getting fixed and how much? We don't have AppleCare on this watch.

Try this;

"Press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for about 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.Wait a few seconds, then hold down just the side button for about 20 seconds or until the “erase all settings” prompt shows up on the screen, then click it, then click the green check button".


ie: That method seems to have helped many people.
