I received a replacement Apple Watch series 8 and it will not turn on. When it's on the charger, it just keeps showing "charger" icon with a red electric symbol on it, while connected to charger. I never saw this before on any of my other Apple Watches. There are a lot of useless YouTube videos regarding this issue - but none are resolving the problem. Is this something that I just have to wait an extended period for the watch to finally start?
After about 30 minutes on the charger, the watch finally booted up on its own. All good.
