Shut off airplane mode

My watch is in airplane mode and I can't get it to quit. The only option I can see is the Mirror iPhone switch. This has no effect on the watch. I get airplane mode whether the mirroring mode is on or off. The watch no longer logs me in to my iMac.

Have you swiped up to control center on your Watch and turned it off there? It can’t mirror your iPhone if it’s still in Airplane mode.

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

The next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup:
