If you are unable to turn off VoiceOver via the previous steps, then follow this process:

Place your Apple Watch on the charger, with power connected.
Press and hold the side button for around 3-4 seconds.

Although Screen Curtain is preventing you from seeing it, the active screen is now similar to this:

Press firmly on the screen, then lift your finger off.

The active (but still hidden) screen is now this:

User uploaded file

Tap once in the area where "Erase all content and settings" is located to select that option, then double-tap twice on the screen to select it.

The active (but still hidden) screen is now this:

User uploaded file

Tap once at the very bottom-right corner of the screen (to select the tick / check mark), then double-tap on the screen to select it.

Your watch will be erased, following which you can pair it with your iPhone again:

Hi

To turn off VoiceOver and Screen Curtain, follow one of these steps:

On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > turn off VoiceOver.

Or use Siri:

Use Hey Siri or press and hold the Digital Crown (round button) then say: “Turn off VoiceOver.”

Or, if the Accessibility Shortcut has been enabled and configured for VoiceOver, you can disable the feature on your watch:

On your watch: try quickly pressing the Digital Crown three times.
