Hello mariangela80.


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We see that your Apple Watch screen is flashing and will not respond properly to a restart. We will be glad to assist.


Try the following steps to force restart:


How to restart your Apple Watch


"Force restart your Apple Watch

Don’t force restart your Apple Watch if you're updating watchOS. After you see the Apple logo and progress wheel on your Apple Watch, leave your Apple Watch alone until the update finishes.

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."


If the issue continues, Contact Apple for support and service

Cheers.
