Is there a real way to enter DFU?

I have an old apple watch that was stored for a long time, now it doesn’t turn on, it gets stuck in a beating apple logo when connected, support sais there is no solution but a paid replacement. I found on internet an iBUS cable that claims to be a way to enter DFU mode so you are able to apply a full restore from the OS image. Do you know if it is real and if it works?
