If your Apple Watch is not turning on, there are a few potential reasons for this. Some common causes of this issue include a dead battery, a software issue, or damage to the device. To troubleshoot this problem, you can try the following steps:
-
Make sure that your Apple Watch is charged. If the battery is completely drained, it may not turn on even when connected to a charger. Try charging your Apple Watch for at least 30 minutes to see if that helps.
-
Restart your Apple Watch. To do this, press and hold the side button and the Digital Crown at the same time for at least 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.
-
Force restart your Apple Watch. If a normal restart does not work, you can try a force restart by pressing and holding the side button and the Digital Crown at the same time for at least 10 seconds, then releasing both buttons and immediately pressing and holding the side button again until the Apple logo appears.
-
Check for updates. If your Apple Watch is not turning on due to a software issue, updating the software may help. To do this, open the Watch app on your iPhone and go to the My Watch tab. Tap on General > Software Update and follow the on-screen instructions to install any available updates.
-
Contact Apple support. If none of these steps work, your Apple Watch may be damaged or have a hardware issue. In this case, it is best to contact Apple support for further assistance.
Keep in mind that these steps may vary depending on your specific model of Apple Watch. You can find more detailed instructions in the Apple Watch User Guide or by visiting the Apple support website.
