MY Apple Watch face suddenly went blank and nothing I tried, including unpairing works. How do I bring it back to life?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
This might sound crazy, but did you try charging the watch?
Hi
Try charging your watch for at least 2.5 hours, following the instructions here:
- Check your battery and charge your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Upon removing it from the charger after that time, should you find that it has not already restarted automatically during charging, try force restarting it:
- Press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for around 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo, then release them and wait for the watch to restart.
After your watch has restarted, updating your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest software may help to prevent the issue from happening again.
When updating, start with your iPhone:
- Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thanks Jonathan. Worked like a charm.
You're most welcome! 🙂
Have you tried to do a hard reset like we can do on our phones, I had that issue once before when I got it and I just pressed the crown and the other button under it for 5-10 secs and waited for the apple log to come back..

As previously advised - and since resolved.
