My Watch is dead.

Hi

Try charging your watch again for at least 2.5 hours. When doing so, check that:

All plastic wrap has been removed from both ends and both sides of the charging cable (check closely on the head of the charger).

• The back of your watch and the head of the charging cable are clean and dry (clean them with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth).
• The charging head is properly aligned with the back of the watch, with the concave / curved side touching it fully:

  Some watch docks, stands, cases or protectors might hinder this.

• You are using:
  • A genuine Apple Magnetic Charging Cable, or;
  • A genuine Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock with a genuine or Apple-certified Lightning to USB Cable, or;
  • An Apple-certified magnetic charging module.
  • If possible, test with another cable, dock or module that meets these requirements (for example, by borrowing a cable).
• If you are charging your watch by plugging into mains power:
  • Check that the USB connector on the Apple Magnetic Charging Cable is pushed fully into the USB Power Adapter.
  • Check that the USB Power Adapter is fully pushed into the power outlet.
  • Try using different adapters from the following:
    • The genuine Apple USB Power Adapter that was supplied with the watch, or;
    • A genuine Apple 5W (iPhone) or 12W (iPad) USB Power Adapter, or;
    • An Apple-certified (MFi) third-party 5W USB power adapter.
  • Try using a different power outlet (one that is known to be working properly).
  • If no other suitable power adapters are available, try instead charging via a USB port.
• If charging via a USB port on a computer, ensure that you use a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, the computer remains turned on and awake and the cable is plugged directly into the computer (not into, for example, an external keyboard).
• If your battery is very low, you may need to wait for a few minutes before the green lightning bolt appears (confirming that charging has started).

Under normal operation, charging should only take up to around 2.5 hours for a full charge.

Check your battery and charge your Apple Watch - Apple Support

After trying to charge your watch again, if it has not already restarted automatically, remove it from the charger and:

- Try restarting it (by pressing and holding the side button until you see the Apple logo).

- Next try force restarting it again (by pressing and holding both buttons for around 10 seconds).

If it still does not start, I suggest that you contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation with a view to having your watch checked (under warranty, if eligible):

• Contact - Official Apple Support

To clarify: the Digital Crown is the name of the uppermost button (which can also be turned) on the side. The one beneath is referred to as the Side button:
