Question

apple watch is locked and unpaired

I had to have my iphone 6S replaced, but now my apple watch is locked and unpaired. I can't get to any settings on my watch to begin the pairing process. Is there anything short of a complete reset of the watch that I can do?

Hi

Follow these steps to erase your locked watch and re-pair it with your iPhone:

Connect your watch to its charging cable, with power connected.
Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
Press firmly on Power Off (do not try to slide it - just press down more firmly than a normal tap) and then tap on Erase all content and settings.
Re-pair your watch using the Watch app on your iPhone, choosing to Restore from Backup if offered the option.
