Hard reset is not working on my Apple Watch

The hard reset isn't working on my I watch I'm pressing holding the two buttons for over 10 seconds. All I get is the red lightning bolt and the time.

If the watch does not charge after sitting 30min on the charger, the battery might be damaged, and needs to be replaced by Apple.

I had to do that on my old Series 5 after 2.5 years, as the battery health dropped below 80% and I had to charge the watch at least twice a day.
