watch stuck on Apple logo

My apple watch is stuck on the apple logo. I've forced restart 15 times, unpaired it from the watch app and tried using the "find my" app trick it into doing anything besides displaying the apple logo. How do I get past the black screen of death?

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 8

Hi Apple1883,


We'd like to help further with what we would suggest for the next best steps for a solution. With the steps you have shared, and with the Apple Watch not fully booting, this would lead to an inspection or service for the device. We would recommend contacting Apple Support so these options can be discussed.


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
