I had a moment (night) of panic. In order to connect the watch to the new phone it has to be reset and set up from scratch. All seemed to be going okay so I left it on the charger while a number of apps installed.

When I went to put the watch back on at bedtime it was dead and wouldn't turn on, on the charger or not. It looked like it had completely given up. I left it on the charger overnight just in case.

Things didn't look any better this morning until I found a thread on Reddit advising to hold all three buttons in for about 15 seconds – it might take three goes. First go: a small vibration but nothing else. Second try: another small vibration then nothing. Third attempt: again the small vibration then ... life!

The relief was palpable.
