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

My Apple Watch is not unlocking as the iPhone was reset prior to unpairing.

Can you help me to unlock the watch? The phone I used to unlock was reset now the watch is not responding at all. Can the watch be unlock and paired again on the same phone
