Chosen Solution

I replaced the battery of my Apple watch original (screen & force touch sensor as well). now it’s not charging. It shows the Apple logo, wich fades to red after a few seconds. About half a minute later is repeats this. Tried to reboot by pushing both buttons for 30 seconds, but no result thus far. Anybody have a solution?

Thanks, Sems the replacement battery was failing, replaced it Seems to werk fine Now…

If you use a third-party charging stand, take the charging cable that came with the Apple Watch. If you cannot charge the Apple Watch or a message appears stating that charging with this accessory is not supported, follow these steps. Make sure that the Apple Watch magnetic-charging cable is fully inserted into the USB power adapter, then check that the adapter is fully inserted into the power outlet. Make sure you are using the magnetic charging cable and the USB power adapter that came with your Apple Watch. Remove the plastic film completely on both sides of the charger. Make sure that the back of the Apple Watch and the charger are clean. Put the Apple Watch back on the charger. The charger magnets will align the Apple Watch, and a green lightning bolt icon will appear on the screen. If the Apple Watch still does not charge, force a restart. Press and hold the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Try a different magnetic watch Apple Watch charging cable and a different USB power adapter. If the Apple Watch is low, connect it to the charger and wait a few minutes until the charging icon appears.

Step 3: It will prompt for passcode if any and at last confirm selection to reset your Apple Watch Wait for the process to end, your Apple Watch will be just like it was new. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZyOHCy4

I had a similar issue. Turns out that the battery was not 100% seated. Once I opened the unit up, re seated the battery in its plug, the ‘charging’ picture came up.
