My new Apple Watch series 7 is connected to the charger doesn’t turn on unless connected to the Apple Watch charger and when connected only shows the white apple symbol then fades to orange than red and doesn’t turn on and it has not been paired to any phone. It is new and is not charging nor working. What do I do?

Are you using the original USB charging cable and at least a 20W Apple power adapter?

If the watch has never been charged, it might have to stay on the charger for more than 30min, before it starts up.
