Q: Apple Watch won't come on after restoring iPhone
I had to restore my iPhone 6 yesterday and didn't un-pair my Apple Watch from it first, now my watch won't come on at all to be able to re-pair it with my phone. Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.2

Hi
Try the following steps:
- Try force restarting your watch: press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for around 10 seconds, until you see the logo.
- If that does not help, next try charging your watch for around 2.5 hours, making sure that you follow the charging instructions here:
- After that time, 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).
- If necessary, next try force restarting it again.
- After your watch has restarted:
- To prepare it for re-pairing with your iPhone:
- On your watch, go to: Home screen (via a single press on the Digital Crown) > Settings (cog icon) > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings.
- Then re-pair it via the standard process (choose to Restore from Backup if offered the option during setup):
- To prepare it for re-pairing with your iPhone:
