So took it to the Apple Store, and as the guy from the Genius Bar was talking to me, he was just fiddling with the watch in his hands and it somehow turned on.
Unfortunately the Apple logo just keeps flashing on screen so he sent it off to the depot as it seems like the software/firmware is corrupted
I switch to my gold old chunky analog watch for formal occasions when I have to wear a full suit like weddings etc. If it’s smart-cas then I go with the Apple Watch but with either the leather or metal links strap.
