Thanks for your suggestion just used the rubbing alcohol on both parts and put it back on charge if that fails I will be down at the Apple Store in the morning as they may have another charging cable to try . I have swooped to various sockets but only have the one charger that came with my watch . I am lost without it . Thanks again 🤞🤞🤞

When you put the watch on the charger, make sure you're seeing the lightning bolt indicating a charge if completely dead, or if there's still a bit of charge the whole screen should be a partial circle with the lightning bolt.


If you don't, pull the watch off and try reseating it on the charger and maybe rotating the it to a slightly different angle. Sometimes I have to put mine on the charger a time or two before it "takes"
