Stuck in dredded re-booting mode

Original Galaxy Watch 46mm

Rebooting , Rebooting , Rebooting 🤬

Hey Gang,

The original Galaxy Watch from Samsung, had this unit since new going on 5 + years , was working fantastic and was actually loving it , became fixated on it daily & gave me very good reference and kept me accountable regarding my daily routines and physical health , absolutely loved the look of the original , I'd say the last of the real manly looking smart watches , sorry ladies 🫣, it was really one of the biggest reasons why I never upgraded till now , even though we don't want to re-live the disasterous blunder of Samsung and their 500 so called special beloved loyals who were chosen apparently and contacted by Samsung to promote the pre launch of the Zfold 5 and the aka gift that came with it for those beloved special loyals , this issue happened to my original Galaxy watch 4-5weeks later , thankfully we all got together and wrestled what we settled from Samsung in the end was a bonus, after the Pink Rose debacle I call it now🤣, I got the Galaxy Watch 5 lte version in the end even though I was originally promised the Galaxy watch 5 pro titanium, anyways it is what it is , moving on ...

I suppose everything happens for a reason and at the right time , as I was saying even though I had the Galaxy watch 5 finally come in , I still was using my original Galaxy watch until this sad day , the watch was working perfectly then went into reboot mode on its own , came back to life for a few hours, 
Flashing led error 


I thought oh well getting old and maybe an update glitch , Nope ! It went back into the dredded rebooting mode as u will see and never came back out ...

Now it goes too sleep after flashing in and out of rebooting mode for awhile then black screen , I put back on the charger it comes to life again in rebooting mode, until the red led on the charger starts flashing indicating an error with charge or the watch , then goes to sleep again hmmmm🤔...

And no ! Pressing the power button 3 or 4 or 5 times quickly does nothing nor brings up system setting screen , holding down the power button for a long press does nothing either etc , any ideas from the community or maybe our beloved Samsung members moderstors or techs ???

Your help would be much appreciated, as this has been the best smart watch , yes the new 5 and 6 smart watch has the upgraded features and tech , but not the look the original Galaxy watch had and the bezel function which was the best and fastest way to scroll instead of the touch screen swipe function is missing on my Galaxy watch 5 thanks Samsung for not giving me the promised pro with the bezel I miss 😣 ! , so yeah if could get this unit going again would be amazing to gift to someone starting out mates ....

Yes thanks for that , as it stands right now , there is no response from the watch , using any buttons individually or singular that is working 🤷 ...

A question I was wondering about is, can the watch be connected to a computer, hardwire via the charger and access anything ?

Other than that I'm thinking can it be a dead battery issue and needs a simple change ?

Hey TarakZ, I have the exact same problem.  Mine happened whilst swimming so I thought it may have been affected by water.  Same thing though, constant rebooting, take it off charger let battery drain then put back on the charger rebooting comes back on and then red LED light flashes  No matter how long I press buttons (single, dual etc) nothing changes from rebooting I have just about resigned to the fact that it is now buggered.  If you have a fix please let me know, Otherwise, I might have to look at getting an upgrade.  Darn things are so expensive though. cheers Steve
