Apple Watch Series 6 not working after update

Apple Watch series 6 not working after update, was fine until update now it won't turn on.

I took watch to genius bar for help and told immediately that watch was 4 years old and must be replaced.

No attempt at fixing it just, "you need a new watch".

Attempt to charge the watch for an extended period to ascertain if the issues persist.

If the issues persist, attempt to force restart the watch.


Press and hold both the side button and the Digital Crown simultaneously until the screen turns black and the Apple logo reappears. Release both buttons. Your watch may take a few moments to restart.

Please refrain from performing this action when updating watchOS.


It is possible that your watch has sustained severe hardware damage and requires replacement. However, by implementing these troubleshooting steps, you have exhausted the available solutions you can try yourself.
