Apple Watch locks me out

I just recently updated my Apple Watch to OS 9 and it keeps locking me out after I take it off the charger in the morning, saying that I’ve made too many attempts to unlock, but I haven’t made even one attempt to unlock it.

Apple Watch Series 7

Hello TTrSv,


You can erase the Apple Watch and pair it again to see if it helps resolve this issue. This article tells you how: Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support


Before you start
If you have the iPhone that your Apple Watch is paired with, you should follow the steps to unpair your Apple Watch. This removes Activation Lock from your Apple Watch as well as erasing all its content and settings. If you don't have the paired iPhone, you can erase your Apple Watch, but Activation Lock will remain.
If you're using your Apple Watch with a transit card in the Wallet app, remove your transit card from your Apple Watch before you unpair.
Apple Watch doesn't have a physical SIM slot or reset button — the holes in your Apple Watch case are there to allow sound to and from the microphone and speakers, and to allow water-depth measurement on Apple Watch Ultra. To avoid damage, don't insert any object into the holes in your Apple Watch case.


Also, make sure you are charging the Apple Watch with an Apple certified charger.




Best Regards.
