Dead, dead, dead

Strangest thing happened. Watch was fully charged this morning. Next thing I know, I go to send a txt and it's totally bricked. No screen response and can't get power options screen. Nothing. Finally had to do a hard reset and then erase and restore from backup in order to get paired with phone again. Is this common for such a new purchase? Had it only 30 days.

I've only had that happen once... if it starts happening regularly and you have AppleCare, make use of it.

It's never happened to me but you're not the first person who has reported this happening. Like @kch50428 said, utilize AppleCare if you have it. Even if you don't, it's still under warranty.

I'm covered for 2 years. However, all is well following the restore. We'll see what happens next.

Good deal. It could have just been a fluke.

That issue has bitten me once or twice - very frustrating when it occurs

yep, happened to mine as well once. Genuinely thought my watch was toast. But a hard reset eventually brought it back to life.
