Troubleshooting: Why Your Amazfit Bip Might Not Restart

- Physical Damage: Check for any visible damage to the power button or the watch itself. Damage can prevent the watch from responding to your input.
- Software Issues: If the problem persists, it might be due to a software issue. You can try updating the firmware on your watch, or if that doesn’t work, you may need to factory reset your watch.
