Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I could not get my Apple Watch to reset in the way described in this guidance note. How can I erase my I watch and start again pls? I don’t know the passcode as hadn’t used the watch in circa 18 months

i could not reset my watch by holding the Digital Crown after pressing the side button as described. Any other ways pls? My phone app isn’t connected to the watch either

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 6

Actually just found another article which says you press the face of the watch and not the crown which brings up the erase feature. Might be worth updating instructions to make that clearer. Thanks
