My Apple watch has a black screen and will not charge. I have unpaired it but I cannot get it to pair again. Any ideas?

My Apple watch seems to have died. The screen on the watch is black. I have unpaired the watch and have tried to pair it again but the iPhone doesn't seem to recognize it and I cannot manually pair it either. Any ideas on what is going on?

Charge the watch first. Instructions here > Check your battery and charge your Apple Watch - Apple Support


If necessary, restart the Apple Watch.

You should force restart your device as a last resort and only if it's not responding. To force restart your Apple Watch, press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.
