How long did it take for watch to come on? There is no indication that it shouldn’t be almost immediate. Wondering what other people’s experience were on start up?
It’s now been about 1 hour that it’s been on the charger with the screen not lighting up and nothing happens when I press the on button.

Welcome to the Wyze community @Ericnkretsch!
Have you tried holding down the side button to power the watch on?
Make sure the power adapter is working.

phone support is typically faster however this isn’t always true due to fluctuation in the amount of calls.

Mine fired up right away. Came with 67% battery charge from factory. Initial pair took less than 5 seconds. Initial firmware update took about 3 minutes in iPhone.
Thanks for sharing. Pretty darn sure this is a dud. Bummer.
Yea contacted support. It’s been charging on the provided cord and a 5v 1A iPhone block that I confirmed is working. Its been approximately 12 hours now. Holding the home button does not turn it on.
Will give a call on Monday morning.
Mines DOA. Took it out of the box today. Charged it from 0% to 100%. Synced it to my phone. It powered up but the touchscreen did not work at all. Do a reboot didn’t fix it, then a restart, didn’t fix it. Was reading up on other troubleshooting and while I was doing that the screen went black and now it doesn’t work at all. Got 10 minutes of screentime and 0 minutes of use out of it. Already reached out to support, so we’ll see what happens.

Mine came at a 76% state of charge, but it took an hour for it to come alive, maybe at 98% SOC. Then the setup was quick and painless.
I’m still waiting on support

No need to post the same twice, everyone can see it.
Still waiting on support to resolve this issue.
I’ve had mine for a couple of months. All of the sudden it won’t charge and when I hold the power button it buzzes once but it never turns on. Screen is black.

Same problem here
This is a long time after your post but here goes. I received my Wyze Watch 47 today, November 29, 2021, and am completely disgusted. I have a Wyze Band which worked great until the band broke but the device still works great. Back to this new Wyze Watch 47. The screen will not come on except for 1 second when I attach the charger. The screen will show as 0% charge, 100% charged, then off. The QR code made an appearance several times, but again, screen only stays on for 1 second and gone. The charger does not stay on the watch well. It literally falls off more than it will stay on. I just called Customer Service and am very unhappy with the style of talking. The woman literally asked me if I had other chargers I could try it with. I asked her how many Wyze Watches did I need to own, What kind of question is that to ask a customer? How many watches would a normal person own? Wow! When I expressed such unhappiness at her way of talking, she transferred me to Tech Support. I didn’t like the style of talk there either. Plain talk is what people want. Not fast talkers. I am very disappointed at Wyze. I own a lot of their products and have gotten other people buying them, as well. Finally, after a lot of talk, they’re sending me another device. Not only am I disappointed at the watch being a dud, I am disappointed at Wyze’s customer service. They were not like that before when I had to call. They were calm, kind, and very patient. They talked real talk, which is the least number of words to get the job done, not a lot of business speak. So, I’ll see if the new watch works.
When I turned it on it did not send a notification to my watch
had my wyze watch since pretty much launch and not a problem. ( other than having to manually sync all the time thru the app) 
but yea i had the issue just recently went to charge think it wasn’t even dead yet as well. but came back hour or so later and it was black screened nothing. 15 second button hold nothing. going to send pictures and receipt to wyze see if they can help me .
Welcome to the Forum, @castwich! 
I sincerely wish you luck with this, though my guess is that Wyze is unlikely to do much of anything for Watch support at this point. They’ve indicated a move away from their “lifestyle” products in the past in order to focus more on their core camera line, and the product pages for both watches have had the “Sold out” and “Final sale. Not eligible for exchange or return.” messages for a while now. I’ve said elsewhere that I’m disappointed by this, because I wear my Watch 47 almost constantly and think it offers a unique integration with the rest of the Wyze ecosystem given its ability to launch Shortcut Automations.
I hope that I’m wrong and that you’ll receive good help and post your follow-up in the future! 
Had my 47mm watch for a couple of years. Good product but–
Beware the magnetic charging. I started having charging issues a few months ago and discovered the pins on the magnetic connector seemed flakey. Tried cleaning the contacts on the watch and connector. Still flakey.
For grins I looked on Amazon and there are replacement cables for this watch. Bought a set (inexpensive) and now watch charges flawlessly.
When you connect the charger the watch should show “Charging” with a percentage. This will display for a few seconds then the screen goes dark.
Don’t give up until your sure the contacts are clean, and maybe replace the cable.

That’s a good point. I was thinking maybe the battery might be at or near the end of its expected life cycle, but this seems worth trying. Wyze apparently still sells their replacement charging cable even though the Watches are no longer in stock.
