So I've been using my brand new Apple Watch Series 2 42mm since last week and I haven't had any issues whatsoever, until today. My watch started overheating for no reason and turned off automatically. When turned on, it overheated again and turn off by itself and now it does not respond. It does not turn on, not even by pressing both the digital crown and power button (hard reset).
Any help?

2-3 hours later, the watch is still unresponsive. I did not bring my charger with me, so i have been unable to charge and try turning it back on. I will end up contacting support if nothing changes.

You're welcome - good luck.
So I tried charging it, no luck. Won't turn back on either. Ended up contacting support, they couldn't say what happened. They will receive a replacement and have to send them the faulty one.
