After battery replacement why is it not turning on?
I followed the steps from iFixIt site and replaced the battery, but looks like something went wrong as the watch is acting there is no battery. It doesn’t start. I don’t think it is charging either as it stays cold. I remember it used to warm up as it charges.
Is this a good question?
And when you put in the old battery again, does it boot up? If yes, perhaps your replacement battery is faulty..

Thank you. It sure sounds like it. My old battery is pretty bad and the watch at least is trying to boot up. With the new one, it does nothing almost like a brick.
I will have to report and hopefully get a better battery from iFixit folks.

Sounds like you need to return it and request a new one :). Let us know if this resolved it, please.

Yes. That was the issue. After I got a different replacement battery (iFixIt folks were very generous and sent me another one without any hassle!) the watch is working as expected. Thank you for your suggestion.
