Apple Watch stuck in power saver mode

Hey so some times my watch has an issue recharging. The solution is usually reboot the watch. Once watch goes to 1% or below it goes into power saver mode. In this mode there seems to be no way to restart it. It is NOT on charge as I know you can't restart while on charging station. Is there anything i can do. Holding the lower button for 10 seconds doesn't work, nor does holding the top button or both buttons at the same time.

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7

If the Watch indicates "1% or below" it must be charged in order to "restart." Depending upon the circumstances, you may have to  "charge your watch for up to 30 minutes."


These two Support Articles may help you understand what is happening

  1. If your Apple Watch won't charge or it won't turn on
  2. Use Low Power Mode on your Apple Watch
