Apple Watch ISO update`

  1. Apple Watch this was an automatic update it did over night when it was on its charging station. I just did a recent update on my Apple watch, ever since I did update my screen shows Apple icon for about 10 seconds, goes dark for 2-3 seconds and goes back to Apple Icon again. What is the fix for this.

Watch frozen, unresponsive, flashing, spinning or steady  logo 


If the Apple Watch has stopped responding,I suggest performing a forced restart. Steps needed are found in the Apple Support article: Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support 


i.e. press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo. 


If you've completed that troubleshooting and the issue is still not resolved, Contact Support.
