Not looking after YouTube links ( ) but does anyone know how to reboot an applewatch Stuck on the apple screen please?

Found this on the apple website not sure if this is what you have tried worked on my wife’s Apple Watch hope it helps

Thank you. That’s what I found. Been trying that on and off all day. I think it may be corrupted. Poxy thing!

If it was corrupt wouldn't it show a pic of a politician? Trudeau perhaps!

Tried plugging it into a laptop. Been known to jolt devices into activity

Can’t. It’s all on WiFi and Bluetooth! Even charge the thing with wireless.

So. Have found a hard hard reset in the depths of apple.com Seems i tried another search term and got different info.

1. hold both buttons as above for about 10 secs till the apple reappears.
2. release
3. Wait a few seconds
4. Press and hold the side button for at least 20 seconds
5. You get a red ‘factory reset’ button. Tap it.
6. It wipes and re starts from factory

this is where we are at. Hope this helps someone.
