Hi Djdonny2,


Thanks for posting. As we understand it, your Apple Watch is entering Airplane Mode by itself. We'd like to see how we can help out.


How often is this happening? Have you noticed it happening after taking any particular actions or using a specific app?


Have you tried restarting both your paired iPhone and the Apple Watch?


Do you have your device set to mirror your iPhone? You can check by opening the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, and then tapping General > Airplane Mode > Mirror iPhone: Use Airplane Mode on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch


As another possibility, have you made sure your iPhone and Apple Watch are both updated?
