Apple Watch Series 3 was slow after watchOS 8 upgrade so I started the upgrade to 8.0.1



  • watch was 93% charged and on charger the whole time
  • Got several "Can't connect to internet to validate" alerts
  • rebooted both and update started


it's been > 2 hours and the watch hasn't come back from the update and is not communicating with phone. Screen is black.

  • have pressed bottom button for 20 seconds
  • have pressed Digital Crown for 20 seconds
  • have pressed both buttons for 20 seconds.


Does anyone have any advice for this state?

thanks,

-Dave
