I have an iwatch 3 nike series and an iphone 11. I had to restore my iphone to the factory settings and now it won't open my watch.
I can't pair it because it's still "paired" and won't open. I tried the recommendation here to push down on the power off screen but that doesn't work. I don't get the option to erase.
Suggestions?
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7
To unpair and erase watch and remove Activation Lock.
On a computer, go to iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID.
Go to Find Iphone.
Select All Devices, then click your Apple Watch.
Click Erase Apple Watch.
Select Next until the device is erased.
Click the remove button next to your Apple Watch.
Try this;
Press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for about 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.Wait a few seconds, then hold down just the side button for about 20 seconds or until the “erase all settings” prompt shows up on the screen, then click it, then click the green check button.
Thank you so much! That did the trick!
Thanks for your response. I went to my icloud and oddly, my watch is not there. I am guessing because it isn't paired with my phone?
