What is how to erase apple watch?

Here's how to erase your Apple Watch:

You can erase your Apple Watch directly from the watch itself or using the paired iPhone. Erasing your Apple Watch restores it to its factory settings. This is useful if you're selling it, giving it away, or troubleshooting persistent issues.

Erasing from your Apple Watch:

  1. Make sure your Apple Watch is on your wrist and unlocked.
  2. Open the Settings app.
  3. Go to General > Reset.
  4. Tap Erase All Content and Settings.
  5. If prompted, enter your passcode.
  6. Choose whether to keep or remove your cellular plan (if applicable).
  7. Tap Erase All. The watch will restart and begin the erasing process.

Erasing from your iPhone:

  1. Keep your Apple Watch and iPhone close together.
  2. Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
  3. Go to the My Watch tab.
  4. Tap All Watches at the top of the screen.
  5. Tap the info button (ⓘ) next to the Apple Watch you want to erase.
  6. Tap Unpair Apple Watch.
  7. If you have a cellular plan, choose whether to keep or remove it.
  8. Enter your Apple ID password to disable Activation Lock, which prevents someone else from using your watch.
  9. Tap Unpair [Your Name]'s Apple Watch. The watch will restart and begin the erasing process.

Important Considerations:

  • Backing%20Up%20Your%20Watch: Backing up your Apple Watch isn't a manual process like with an iPhone. When you unpair your watch, a backup is automatically created on your iPhone. This backup includes most of your data and settings, which can be restored when setting up a new Apple Watch.
  • Activation%20Lock: Activation Lock is automatically enabled when you set up Find My on your paired iPhone. Erasing the watch properly (via unpairing) will remove Activation Lock. If you don't remove Activation Lock, the new owner won't be able to use the watch.
  • Cellular%20Plan: If your Apple Watch has a cellular plan, you'll be prompted to either keep or remove it when erasing. If you plan to use the watch with a different iPhone, remove the plan. If you sell the watch, removing the plan is highly recommended.
  • Apple%20ID%20Password: You'll need your Apple ID password to disable Activation Lock during the unpairing process. Make sure you know your password before you start.
  • Time%20to%20Erase: The erasing process can take some time, so make sure your watch is charged or connected to its charger.
