A dormant watch kills the battery.

Just wondering if any one else had experienced this problem. I purchased Two identical watches for gifts 2015 and 2016 which were left dormant for 3-6 months. When I tried to charge again the battery was dead. Unable to charge. Is it a coincidence? Highly doubt it. Apple refuses to repair the issue asking for $290 to repair a problem. I’m certain they are aware of this flaw. A $500 garbage watch headed for its true home THE BIN.  

Hi

 

Apple advises that, when storing Apple Watch long term, you should store it with a 50% charge and then recharge it to 50% every six months.

 

See under the heading "Store it half-charged when you store it long term":  

 

 

If the battery on your Apple Watch falls into a deep discharge state, then it can become incapable of holding a charge.

This advice was not highlighted in the manual accompanying the watch.

The two watches had been charged to 100% capacity and then left off the charger for a period of 6 months. The battery went dead. Drained.

Lithium ion batteries that are left in an uncharged condition for extended periods of time will undergo chemical changes that can cause them to degrade. If you want to get into the electrochemistry, you could read the abstract of this paper:

So it’s a flaw in the battery which is an issue for all Apple  watches?
