Hey, everyone. I couldn't find anyone with similar problems, so I thought I'd give this thread a shot.

I have a Nexus 5X and it was acting quirky with the LTE/Wi-Fi disconnecting and losing service. Before I blamed Verizon, I figured I'd reset the phone and see what I couldn't troubleshoot. Naturally, with resetting the phone, I factory reset the watch and placed it on the dock to charge overnight; but this morning I woke up and noticed that my watch didn't appear to reset, but the dock clock was red instead of blue like I previous had it. Assuming it just didn't reset because I put it on the charger at a weird time during the process, I factory reset it again. The watch boots up to the "¡Bienvenido!" and after about 5-7 seconds, will go dark. I assumed it was just the sleep timer on the watch, but it's actually powering itself down as I have to hold down the power button to get it to turn back on and watch it go through the boot phase. Unfortunately the watch is two years old this month and has worked well up to today, so it's out of warranty and replacing it wasn't really in mind. Any help is appreciated, I still love my 1st Gen Moto 360 :)

tl;dr, Has anyone wiggled their way through the Moto 360 turning off after 5-7 seconds of booting it up?

It looks like this user is also having the same problem: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/MOTO-360/Moto-360-Gen-1-will-not-boot/td-p/3287032

Looking through the thread there doesn't seem to be a fix. But you can try a factory reset (see post #6) and see if that works. Otherwise, it may be a hardware issue and the device will likely need to be repaired.
