Apple Watch blinks logo while charging. Wont power.

Since my husband updated his Apple Watch several months ago, it won't power on. When it's on the charger, the apple logo flashes, if we try to do a hard reset, a red exclamation mark pops up and gives a web site address apple.com/watch/help. I'm thinking the update did this. He has since got a new watch, unpaired the watch from his phone and has erased it from Find My iPhone, so none of those tricks will work if the update went sour before it finished. It's a Series 1, will Apple still support it if I take it to an Apple Store?

Try this;

Press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for about 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.Wait a few seconds, then hold down just the side button for about 20 seconds or until the “erase all settings” prompt shows up on the screen, then click it, then click the green check button.
