Apple Watch stuck with Apple logo when on charge

[Swamps]

I have an older Apple Watch but it still works great, until today. for some reason from today when I put it on charge I only get an apple logo on the screen instead of going into bedside mode. The watch works perfectly well when not on charge, but as soon as I connect the charger I just get a white apple logo.

Once it happens, the only way to get it back to being a watch (even when off the charger) is a hard reset and reboot.

Any ideas what's caused this? The only thing that change sin installing Path Finder on my Mac, but I can't see how that caused the issue.

That’s very interesting as my S2 watch since I updated to iOS 16 last week has starting doing random restarts with the Apple logo and chime when I place it on the charger each night.
Never had a single issue for 5 years before this.

Have paired the watch to my 14 Pro Max yesterday and I’m still having the random rebooting problem when the watch is placed on the charger.

Not sure what's happened, but my watch is basically useless now.

I tried everything with my S2 and its still chiming or rebooting/chiming when i put it on the charger.

I tried another AW on the same charger and no problem.
