Hi

My apple watch was charged over night but won't turn on. When I connect to charger cable it turns on and shows 100% but when I take the charge cable away it dies.

Tried holding both buttons down but that doesn't do anything.

Anyone else had this problem or a solution thanks.

Ian

Sounds like your battery might be faulty or in need of replacement. Do you have AppleCare? And how long have you owned it?
 
Thanks. Bought at the end of January so less than 6 months so still under warranty. Will book an appointment with local Apple Store.
 
If the screen comes up when you touch it, check if Theater mode is on.
