Apple Watch bricked itself overnight

Are you pressing both the Digital Crown and Side Button at the same time and holding them both in? You may need to hold the buttons as long as a minute. When you see the Apple logo release both buttons.

Is Apple Watch on Apple puck/cable? Are you using Apple wall charger? Have you switched outlets the charger is plugged into and made sure it’s not a switched outlet? What happens if you press and hold just Digital Crown?

My suspicion is an internal component quite functioning properly. That’s the thing about electrical issues. They either work or they don’t. Mechanical devices can sort of work, just not as originally designed. When an electrical component fails, the whole device just shuts down. There is no sort of working.

See what the Apple Genius says and make a decision. New Watches may be only a month away. Waiting might get you a great deal on a year old Series 9 or a Series 10 with a new feature you really want.

Do you have Apple Care for the Watch? Are you near an Apple Retail Store?
