This is absolutely hilarious. My watch powered off at some point, all by itself. It had about 50% battery. I then tried a billion things to try to get it to power back on, but it would only power off again within 10 seconds of being powered on. Just this morning, I figured out how to get it to "work".
I have to continuously press the power button. Over, and over, and over again, continuously. If I do that, it will power on and stay "on". In fact, I was even able to connect it to "Connect" on my computer and update my software on the watch. I watched it charge at least 3%, maybe 4%. I was able to connect it to my phone via my "Connect" app on my phone.
But, here is what is hilarious. Since I saw it had updated the software and was able connect to both my computer and my phone... I thought, "You know what, maybe the issue is fixed. Maybe it just needed to update the software and get reconnected to my phone. Surely it will be fine now."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
No. As soon as I stopped incessantly and continuously pressing the light button over and over again in short intervals (more frequently than 1x per second), it promptly powered off, despite being hooked up to my computer, showing it was charging.
So, the absolutely only way I can "use" my $1,000 watch now is to continuously press the power button over and over again without stopping. It is like the movie "Speed". No more button presses on the light button? No watch for you!
Has anyone else had this issue? Any idea how to keep my stupid watch on without developing carpal tunnel or breaking my fingers?
