What’s the best way to go about unpairing your Apple Watch when you are locked out of your Apple ID?

I am locked out of my old AppleID that’s attached to my watch, unfortunately locked out of that old email it’s attached too as well, how the heck do I get my Apple Watch unconnected from that Apple ID and attached to my new one?

Apple Watch Series 4

Hi there JosieHart1997,


You'll need to unlock your Apple ID in order to stop using it with your Apple Watch. Learn how to unlock your Apple ID here: If your Apple ID is locked or disabled


To sign out of iCloud on your Apple Watch, you'll need to sign out on the paired iPhone:


When you sign out of iCloud on the iPhone that's paired with your Apple Watch, you're automatically signed out of iCloud on your Apple Watch.

This link provides these details: Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac


If you're unable to unlock your Apple ID to remove Activation Lock from your Apple Watch, you may be able to submit a request to remove it: How to remove Activation Lock


Take care.
