What should I do if my Apple Watch won't turn on?

My watch has completely died.

i took it to a repair place and they said that it was probably the charger and it may of died.

i bought a new charger and have left my watch on it for a couple of days and still nothing, it’s not turning on when i press and hold one and both buttons. There’s absolutely nothing on the screen.

What do i do? Or is it time to buy a new watch.

Hello @Willbarnes21, depending on what series you have, it might be time for a replacement. The battery in older series (like Series 1-6) might be too old.


I would try to do a "force reset". To do a force reset- Hold the crown and side button for 10-15 seconds or until you see the .


Hope this helps and have a great day!
