iMore

So I was going away for a couple fo weeks to Africa, and didn't want to risk taking my Apple watch. I took it off and put it on my desk.

I didn't leave it charging as I didn't want it left on charge for 14 days straight, so decided I'd let the battery run down and recharge it when I got back.

Today I have charged it and the screen is unusable. There's now a mass of flickering white or green lines across the screen that totally obstruct the watch. The watch has had no damage and has had no repairs ever, it was exactly where I'd left it.

wondering what might have caused this and what I can do?

Many thanks
