Apple Watch Ultra screen goes black off and on

Any Solutions to Apple Watch ultra screen going black and later turning back on?


Tried hard restarting it several times and still does it. I know it’s on and charged . Pressed crown and Siri starts but screen is black no matter what. Eventually the screen comes back on.

OK.......do you have Always on Display turned on?


If yes, try a Forced Restart, since this happened after the update:


Press and hold BOTH the digital crown and power buttons at the SAME TIME. Keep holding them both until the screen goes dark and keep holding them both until the Apple Logo appears (can take several seconds), then let go. Sign back in when prompted and see if things return to normal.

From the bottom of you watch screen swipe up to open Control Center:


Is Theater Mode turned on (the icon with two mask faces)? If yes, tap to turn it off.

Is the icon with a Crescent Moon (which is Do Not Disturb) on? If yes, tap to turn it off.

Open Settings on your Apple Watch App on your iPhone.

Tap Battery

Tap Battery Health

Is Low Power Mode turned on? If yes, turn it off


Do you have tattoos on your wrist where the watch sits?
