How to wipe Apple Watch I have an Apple Watch series 2 I’m trying to sell. I need to completely erase and factory reset the device but I have a few problems: screen is broken and unresponsive though Apple Watch still works no longer have phone that was paired to it Watch is not connected to internet any ideas for how I could still erase it? I tried erasing it through ICloud and it says it will do so when it connects to the internet. Is this problem solved or is there more that needs to be done? Thanks in advance!

Apple Watch - Locked but already deleted from ICloud and FindMy Hey I bought a used Apple Watch from eBay, the seller had already deleted from iCloud and FindMy and reset the watch, before he gave it to me. But when I returned home, the locked screen turned up. Does the watch did not get notified that it was removed from the iCloud, because it was reset or something? It is a two hour drive, and not worth for me to drive that long.. is there a way to let the watch update, so it sees that there is no connection to any account anymore, or can somebody in the Apple shop take a look at it? I have everything for it here like OVP and multiple Bands and stuff.. thanks in advance!

Apple Watch won't erase Hi all, I bought a secondhand Apple Watch recently and the seller forgot to reset/unpair it from their phone. I called and they told me that they had removed the iCloud lock so all I had to do was factory reset it. I'm familiar with the process (not my first Watch) so I knew how to get to the erase all data option. My problem is that the watch is not actually erasing. When I select erase all and confirm it, the watch just reboots, then takes me back to the old lock screen (and I stupidly guessed too many times at the passcode so I'm locked out of there even if I got that) Anybody else had any problems like this or know any advice? Every time I google it just brings me back to the same support pages telling me to do the one thing I know doesn't work.
