Apple Watch disabled at password screen
I have a Apple Watch 7000 Series and I've forgotten my password. I went through the steps in the article using my iPhone. After the unpairing my phone displayed a message that the unpairing was done but there might be a problem with it and to use my watch to complete the unpairing (or something like that). Now the phone shows the screen to pair your watch.
When I try to reset my watch by holding both buttons down, I don't get a power off button - it just shuts down and then the apple icon displays. Then after a while of that, the password screen displays!!!
Then, even if I don't do anything, after a little while it says "Wrong passcode" "try again in 60 min".
Any idea? Or is it a brick now, can't even use it as a watch. :-(
