Blinking Red is error.  Next time it happens can you please boot to OFW and do

ok watch-battery

Then press a key to make watch-battery exit.  When it exits it will
tell you what the error is.  Please pass that on.

Sure.  Blinking red is basically the same as if you did not have a
battery installed.
