Apple Watch Charge

My apple watch has been dead and in my drawer for a while and now it won’t charge. I’ve tried force restarting it and no matter what I do it will not turn on at all. Please help!!

Since you said, "My apple watch has been dead and in my drawer for a while," my bet is that the battery has been depleted beyond use. Apple Watch Battery and Performance - Apple Support states:

"A battery’s lifespan is related to its “chemical age,” which is more than just the passage of time. It includes different factors, such as the number of charge cycles and how it was cared for. Follow these tips to maximize battery performance and help extend battery lifespan. For example, keep Apple Watch half-charged when it’s stored for the long term."


I recommend that you "Contact Apple Support" for a more thorough assessment. Apple Watch Support lists this link:
