New Apple Watch vibrates on charger but doesn't power up

Watch is new as a gift. When I try to charge it just vibrates on the charger. Doesn’t light up or power up. Tried the force restart and nothing happens

New Apple Watch is making a buzzing sound when it’s connected to the charger New Apple Watch is making a buzzing sound when it’s connected to the charger. Stops when I take it off the charger, tried a new charger but it did not fix the issue. Worried the battery is defective?
