How to power off an Apple Watch Edition 42mm
If you cannot turn off the Apple Watch Edition 42mm using the buttons, either because the power button does not work or because it is very difficult to press all the buttons at the same time, you can turn off the Watch Edition 42mm from the settings.
In recent updates to the operating system, the power button is no longer used to turn off the Apple Watch as it would be logical, now it can be configured to activate Siri without the need to use your voice but it will not turn off or restart the device when held down.

Estimated time: 2 minutes.

2- Second step:
Slide the power button next to "Power off" from left to right to turn off your Apple Watch Edition 42mm.
3- Third step:
Your Apple Watch Edition 42mm will turn off, wait a few seconds without touching any buttons while it turns off.
How to turn off Apple Watch Edition 42mm if it is not responding?
If you cannot turn off the Apple Watch Edition 42mm because the screen is broken or locked, and the previous method doesn’t work, you will need to turn it off using the physical buttons.
To force a shutdown of the Watch Edition 42mm, press and hold the power button (or unlock button) and the digital crown until the Apple logo appears, then release the digital crown and hold the power button. If the screen is broken and you can't slide your finger to turn it off, press and hold the power button for at least 8 seconds until it turns off.
If the device still does not respond, does not turn off, or is stuck in a loop, it may indicate a hardware issue, such as a malfunctioning motherboard, memory, screen, or power button. In this case, you may need to have it repaired or use your warranty.
