Im locked out of my 6series smart watch and I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. I can seem to be able to reset, tried different methods w no success, do i need a replacement?

Erasing the Watch does not remove Activation Lock. When locked it cannot be used. You’ll need your Apple ID & password associated with this watch and its paired iPhone. It’s a security feature that cannot be bypassed. See: About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch - Apple Support


To remove Activation Lock, unpair the watch
