I went swimming with my Apple Watch, thinking it was waterproof and it died. I am unable to unpair it from Bluetooth, nor delete the app. It does not show up on my devices list in the Find My app. What do I do? It is a series 7.
Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 10
Apple Watches are not water-proof, they are water-resistant. They have water-resistant seals that over time, depending on what the watch experiences, can be damaged
About Apple Watch water resistance - Apple Support
The series 7 has been around for going on three years. The seals on yours could have been damaged in that time.
If it was water damaged it is likely time to replace it.
You should be able to remove it from your Apple Account with these steps;
M1 Mac mini, macOS 14.6.1; Watch, series 7 GPS/cellular, watchOS 10.6; iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 17.6.1; TV 4th Gen, tvOS 17.6; HomePods, audioOS 17.6 and Airport Express w/ Airplay 2
I have:
iPhone 12 with iOS 17.6.1
Macbook Air 13-inch, M3, 2024 with MacOS Sonoma 14.5
Apple Watch Series 7
I went to unpair from bluetooth list and it says to use the apple watch app. I go to the app and try to reset and it says it needs to connect to the watch first. I try to delete the app and it says I need to unpair the watch first. I go to the Find My app and it doesn't appear in the list. I go to icloud.com/find and likewise it does not appear in the list.
Thanks. At this point I'm lacking suggestions. I suppose you can just ignore the Watch app and not worry about it. It's not going to hurt anything, and you can remove it from the Home Screen so it's not taking up screen space. Restoring your iPhone to factory settings might get rid of it completely, but that seems to me an extreme step unless there's a reason you really need to delete the Watch app.
Regards.
Yes I’m aware of that… after the fact.
It doesn’t show up in the find my list, as I’ve already stated.
What model of iPhone do you have and what version of iOS is it running? What steps have you already tried on that phone to try and address the problem?
