Restore Apple Watch From Demo Mode

Not sure why all of the topics about this I run into are users flat-out lying about not being able to remove demo mode for retail Apple watches for whatever reason. I just dislike the blunt dishonestly. So I will share the way to do it maybe it will help someone.


Demo mode does not allow you to reset the watch like normal. Why? I'm honestly not sure, that's another topic. But when you navigate to settings and go to general it has the reset option there but you can not click it.


There's a secret menu that will allow you to access the reset options/Wifi options. You just gotta know the gestures. It's honestly clever. So clever that I wouldn't be revealing it if so many were not straight out lying to curious people about it. Anyway, navigate to settings, don't click anything, take two fingers and double-tap the screen while in settings. BINGO! The actual settings menu appears it resembles the original. Use this hidden menu to against settings or connect to store wifi etc.
