Hi


Try charging your watch for around 2 hours, making sure that you follow the charging instructions here:


Check your battery and charge your Apple Watch - Apple Support


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.


If the issue then persists, I suggest that you contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available), make a Genius Bar reservation or visit an Apple Authorised Service Provider with a view to arranging for your watch to be inspected and, if recommended, serviced:
