When I try charging my watch it just flashes the apple logo and after awhile it just stops until I press the crown and it starts flashing again. What could this be?

My Apple watch Series 5 only flashes the Apple symbol on the screen. It started this over Christmas vacation.

Please fully charge the Apple Watch and try again.

If it still doesn't work then press and hold the side button and the crown for 15 seconds / until the apple logo appears. Then release the buttons. This may restart the watch.

Apple watch won't turn on. Just flashes

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?

Why is my Apple Watch blinking the Apple logo and not turning on?

Charge the Apple Watch Some users revealed that after fully charging their Apple Watch, the blinking logo ceased and their watch was able to boot up normally. You might want to do the same. Fully charge your Watch with its magnetic charging cable or the magnetic charging dock and check if that resolves your issue.

What does it mean if my Apple Watch keeps flashing the Apple logo?

Reportedly, the Apple Watch gets stuck in the boot loop with an Apple logo that keeps appearing and disappearing. In rare cases, the hardware buttons are unresponsive, resulting in the device failing to turn on. This issue lasts for approximately an hour or more and is most likely the result of a software update.

How do I unfreeze my Apple Watch 1?

Why is my apple Watch Series 1 stuck on Apple logo?

Apple watch gets stuck with an Apple logo mainly because of internal software or settings' misconfigurations. This may range from issues in connection modules to having a mismatched timezone.
