Do you have a red circle with a charging bolt in it on screen? Keep charging the watch, preferably for a few hours to see if the problem persists.


If you have a circle with an exclamation mark on screen follow these steps to recover your watch


 

  1. Make sure that an iPhone is nearby. The iPhone needs to have iOS 15.4 or later, it needs to be connected to Wi-Fi* with Bluetooth turned on, and it needs to be unlocked.
  2. Put your Apple Watch on its charger.
  3. Double-click the side button (the button below the circular Digital Crown) on your Apple Watch.
  4. Follow the steps that appear on the iPhone.
