For some reason, or perhaps to my sever attempts to reset, watch isn’t listed there anymore.


Watch-app on my iPhone, on-charger resetting, find my iphone reset are not on any of the options now.


both side button and crown dials are working, watch face responds when they are clicked. Except that it only shows “Too many attempts, try resetting and pair again” :((

Didn’t actually forget. Was wrestling to removed the stuck strap. Ended in “too many passcode” attempts.

So I just found that my watch isn’t auto-connected to my iphone, hence watch-app isn’t able to connect when initiating reset. Found it out when I was exploring my iphone setting trying to find my watch listed anywhere, then noticed that it’s “not connected” in my bluetooth devices. Once connected, was able to reset. Thanks for the help.
