I've only had my watch for 3 days. Today it vibrated a lot, but then there were no notifications. After awhile it just went black. I cant seem to get it to turn back on. I've tried shutting it off and back on. Battery was at 67% so it's not that. It does continue to vibrate occasionally on my wrist so I know it isn't dead, just the screen. Is it already broken??!! I love samsung products, but if it broke after 3 days of very minimal use I'm not sure samsung watches are something I want to own. Anybody have any ideas?

I pressed and held the power button for 10 seconds, fixed the problem right away with a simple reboot. 

I've had my watch 5 days, after getting it hooked up (which took 5 hours, long story) I freaked out when I couldn't get the screen to work. I know it was on and charged, but black.

Mine lasted less than a month, unfortunatelly this solution did not help. Any other ideas please???
I bought the watch while in the US, I'm not any more. Here the technical assistance hasn't even tried to turn it on 😞

This worked for me. I had to try a few times to power it down while on the charger, but it finally worked.

My screen went black all of a sudden yesterday. I solved the problem with your solution of holding power button while on the charger. Thank you!
