Watch will not charge!

Apple Watch SE40.

The watch will not charge?

Tried to restart by pressing and holding side button, power symbol should appear, it does not !

What does appear is a small charge symbol and the time, both disappear after a short period, then nothing.

The display will go off after a moment, that is normal.

There should be a partial circle showing approximate charge (ie half a circle is 50%)

You can tap that to show actual charge percentage

To force a restart press in the Digital crown and the side button together until the white apple logo appears then let go.


The article If your Apple Watch won't charge or it won't turn on - Apple Support including the advice to Force Restart near the end of the article is the best resource for this situation. If you've completed that troubleshooting and the issue is still not resolved, use the link in the article to Contact Support. Or Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple
