Q: My Apply Watch Has Stopped Ringing when my iPhone rings
For the second time, my Watch has stopped ringing when my iPhone 6S+ rings. I can see that calls have "logged," but the phone doesn't ring. Last time, I went through the tedious process of "unpairing and re-pairing." Is it possible that is you put your hand over the watch several times to silence an incoming call, the watch thinks this is how all calls should be handled? How do I get my watch to ring again?

Yes, if you hold your hand over the watch screen for about 3 seconds, it enable silent mode on the watch. To turn it off, you swipe up to see your glances, then swipe to the far left to see your setting. There you will find the ringer (bell) icon in red which means it is on. Tap it to turn silent mode off. If you want to change these settings, the easiest way is to go on the iPhone to the Watch App, then Sounds & Haptics. in here you will find the "Cover to Mute" option as well as Silent Mode (which does the same as the bell icon on the watch).
