Well I just updated my Apple Watch series 2 42mm the other night. I get about 2 full days on a charge so I charge it every other night roughly. I went to put my watch on the charger last night and after a while noticed it had the Apple logo on the screen like it was restarting. The watch was very warm almost too hot. And wouldn’t turn back on, just would stay at the Apple logo.

Now after leaving it on the charger all day, I tried to turn it on but was greeted with a thermometer icon and the watch wasn’t even warm. I just now tried using my other charger and after a few minutes was hot again and still will not start up.

Kinda suspicious my “older” watch would get messed up after an update. Guess Apple wants me to go and buy another since it’s obviously no longer under warranty.

My guess is somethings wrong with the logic board, maybe it overheated and that’s why you’re receiving that specific icon on the display. At this point, it likely can’t be resurrected unfortunately.
