Apple Watch Screen Dims and won't Respond

My Apple Watch screen has gone dim and will not brighten. I have version 2.2.2 and using iPhone 6+ with most recent OS. I have reset ph and watch countless times, unpaired and paired many times, restored from backup and as a new watch, adjusted brightness and nothing has worked. My watch warranty just expired.


Thoughts? Solutions? I can see the screen at night or during the day.

Apple Watch, watchOS 2.2.1, Apple OS 2.2.2

I had the same issue, 5 months out of warranty. Apple gave me three options:-


Repair or replace is repair not applicable - $199

Buy a new Series 1 watch - $250

Buy a new Series 3 watch - $350


Not very good support for an Apple product, I decided not to spend $400 every 2 years for an Apple watch, my Seiko came back out of the drawer!

Hi


Given the steps that you have already tried, 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:
