What is how to factory reset apple watch?

Here's how to factory reset your Apple Watch:

  • Unpair from iPhone: The easiest way to factory reset your Apple Watch is to unpair it from your iPhone. This process erases all content and settings. To do this, open the Watch app on your iPhone and go to "My Watch" > "All Watches". Tap the information button (i) next to your watch, then tap "Unpair Apple Watch". You may be prompted to enter your Apple ID password. Choose to keep or remove your cellular plan (if applicable). This process also creates a backup of your watch's data before erasing it. More information can be found on Unpair%20Apple%20Watch.

  • Reset Directly on Apple Watch: If you can't access your iPhone, you can reset your Apple Watch directly from the watch itself. Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. You may need to enter your passcode. This method also removes Activation Lock if the watch is connected to the internet via Wi-Fi. Find details about this method on Erase%20All%20Content%20and%20Settings.

  • What Happens During a Reset: A factory reset removes all personal data, settings, apps, and media from your Apple Watch. It effectively returns the watch to its original, out-of-the-box state. For more comprehensive information read Factory%20Reset.

  • Activation Lock: If your Apple Watch is linked to an Apple ID, Activation Lock will be enabled after the reset. This prevents anyone else from using your watch if it's lost or stolen. To remove Activation Lock, you need to unpair the watch from your Apple ID. Learn about Activation%20Lock to learn how to manage and remove.

  • Restoring from Backup: After resetting, you can restore your Apple Watch from a backup during the initial setup process. Choose the most recent backup to restore your data and settings. Detailed guide on Restoring%20from%20Backup.
