How to force a restart iWatch SE 2nd GE

[thebrightsideoflife]

Hello Forum,

since yesterday my screen is black (iWatch SE 2nd GE) and I’m not able to force a reboot. Funny thing is sleep time, steps everything gets recorded - does anybody know what else I can try? For the moment I have the bad feeling that the display died overnight.

"To force restart, hold down the side button and the Digital Crown at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears."

Restart Apple Watch

If something isn’t working right, try restarting your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone.

Thank you for your speedy reply and I tried your tip but it seems my iWatch is now really gone. I pressed the buttons a couple of times now but I never see the Apple Logo. Even charging does not work anymore.

It could be the battery is totally drained, leave it in the charger for an hour and see then

Thank you all for your help - tried everything but still a watch with a dead display. Today I brought my iWatch to my local Apple Store for recycling purpose and bought me a new one.
