hi, I got my new iwatch sport today and it was out of charge(or that's what I think anyway)
a weird symbol of the charger with a lighting bolt apperad and when i put the charger on the lighting bot turns green.
does this means its completely out of charge or something else? Please help.
Apple Watch, watchOS 2.1
Hi
The charging symbols that you are referring to indicate that your battery is starting from a point of very low battery level:
When you see the green lightning symbol after placing your watch on the charger, this means that your watch has started charging. It is normal for the screen of your watch to sleep after a few moments - charging still continues.
Leave your watch on the charger for at least 3 hours (it may help to leave your watch charging overnight). The watch should start automatically when the battery has reached a sufficiently high level. You can tap the screen at any time to check the charging status.

Hey,
James here
If the watch is sitting on the charger correctly, and the charger is plugged into the wall and power brick, then the watch will be charging.
You can slide up from the watch face and view charging status in the glances.
The watch will also display a green lightning bolt at the top of the display to let you know its charging.
Enjoy that new apple watch mate!
