I see the Apple Magnetic Charging Cable icon with a green lightning symbol on the face of my watch while it is charging but when I take it off the charger it goes completely black and won't turn on, even when left on the charger for ample time.

Hi


Follow the instructions here, including contacting Apple Support (mail-in service may be available, if required), making a Genius Bar reservation or visiting an Apple Authorised Service Provider if necessary:



Be sure to use only an Apple or MFi-certified USB power adapter or third-party accessory in conjunction with the Magnetic Charging Cable or Magnetic Charging Dock when charging your Apple Watch. If you are already doing so, try using another such cable and/or power adapter (including trying an Apple iPad USB Power Adapter first, if you have access to one).
