Having the same issue. After the reboot for the update the device seems a brick and freezes/locks up after a few button presses.

Can do a factory reset but just freezes again after the langues selection…

Same issue here, after suggested restart it freezes in the startup screen. After reset connected to pc, the watch indeed restarts, but now buttons fail randomly and battery drains within half a day. Following thread

If the watch is turning on, you could try the firmware reinstall via Developer menu:

Go to the menu > system > about > click the top left button 8 times > the development menu should appear > select reinstall software and let it do its thing
