Hi boop_bork,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I see you're having an issue with your iPhone and Apple Watch both restarting, and I'd like to help out.


Having both devices restart at the same time, or even at different times, can certainly be an issue.


When your iPhone restarts, you may see an Apple logo, or a spinning gear. If so, check out this article: If your iOS device restarts or displays the Apple logo or a spinning gear unexpectedly


iPhone Battery and Performance has important battery info, and how to check the battery health on your iPhone. A battery needing to be replaced can exhibit the restarting behavior.


You'll want to make sure that both devices are up to date with the current software.

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Update your Apple Watch


I'd also suggest to unpair and pair you Apple Watch again.

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch

Set up your Apple Watch


Take care!
