Galaxy watch classic 4

[Dal75]

My watch updated midweek since then I've not been able to turn it on. I have charged it on two different wireless charger just in case it was that. I have tried holding the home button for 10's. Tried both buttons for 10's also tried the last processes on the charger too. 

Can anybody help? Anybody had the same issue?

@Dal75, You probably installed faulty update GVI3. There's no other way but go to the service center to fix your Watch.

We are aware that a limited number of Galaxy Watch4 series models are not turning on following a recent software (VI3) update. We have halted the update and will release new software shortly.

We recommend consumers who may have experienced this issue with their Galaxy Watch4 series to visit their nearest Samsung service center or call 1-800-Samsung.

Although this particular software update is not apparently affecting all watches I'm holding off updating my Watch⁴ Classic until the updated software is going to be pushed out.

As advised by Samsung in their Announcement in the Samsung Members App you'll now need to visit a Samsung Service Centre. 

Would you let us know how you get on with this @Dal75

@BandOfBrothers, Actually Samsung pushed one more firmware after faulty GVI3. This one should be ok.

Thank you very much @kamil40013 

I see that version was released on the 12th of October 22.

I'll take a look when I'm using the Watch⁴ Classic again 👍

I had the same, it's the last update that's the problem. When it runs out of battery it dies for good. Its a bug, I'm waiting for my refund or replacement, they are dragging their feet and making it difficult

The same has happened to my Galaxy Watch 4. Completely dead after V13 firmware update. When I contacted Samsung they told me it would be a chargeable repair as my watch was no longer under warranty. Which in my view is ludicrous, given it was their update that bricked my watch. Has anyone else faced this issue? I can't believe Samsung is not taking responsibility for applying faulty firmware and expecting customers to pay to put it right!
