To reset your Apple Watch, you can use your paired iPhone or the watch itself. To reset with your iPhone, keep the devices close, open the Apple Watch app, tap “All Watches,” and select the watch to unpair and erase. Confirm by tapping “Unpair Apple Watch,” and if prompted, enter your Apple ID password. This method backs up your watch and removes the Activation Lock. If you lack your iPhone, reset directly on the watch by opening Settings, selecting General, then Reset, and choosing “Erase All Content and Settings.” This option restores factory settings but doesn’t back up or remove Activation Lock.
