My girlfriends Apple Watch shows watch shows a picture of a charge cable with a green lightning bolt and won’t turn on. She stored it in a drawer for a year and now wants to use it. I’ve had it on a charger for a couple hours and it didn’t charge. I swapped to my charger and after a couple hours, it still isn’t leaving that screen or restarting. I’ve tried to force restart and it won’t. Any ideas or should I visit an Apple store?

Visit an Apple Store for sure.
And next time when storing away Li-ion powered devices, charge them to 50% and store them away. If lower or higher battery percentage, the battery won’t survive being unused for a long time.
