How to Hard Reset or Force Restart your Apple Watch?

The Apple Watch is a useful addition to the iPhone that allows you to keep track of all your incoming notifications, track your gym routines, and more. However, the Apple Watch, like other gadgets, isn’t flawless, and you may find yourself in a position where you need to force restart or hard reset your Apple iWatch to get it to operate again. To learn how, follow the instructions below.

How to Restart your Apple Watch

It’s as simple as it gets when it comes to restarting the Apple iWatch. Furthermore, the processes are identical for all Apple Watch models.

Step 1: Hold the Side button down until the Power Off slider appears on the screen.

Step 2: Now, move the Power Off slider to the off position.

Step 3: After a few seconds, press and hold the Side button until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

It’s worth noting that if your Apple Watch is charging, you should first remove it from the charger. You won’t be able to restart your wearable if it’s charging.

Force Restart/Hard Reset Apple iWatch

For typical watchOS difficulties, a force restart (hard reset) is a go-to troubleshooter. Keep in mind that hard resetting your Apple Watch should only be used as a final resort if the other methods have failed.

When upgrading watchOS, you should never forcibly restart your Apple iWatch. If your device displays the Apple logo and the update process, let your iwatch alone and charge it until the update is complete.

Step 1: First, press and hold the Side and Digital Crown buttons simultaneously for at least 10 seconds.

Step 2: When the screen turns dark and the Apple logo appears on the screen, release both buttons. The watch is now operational again.

So there you have it! That’s how you can hard reset and restart your Apple iWatch. A simple reboot of your smartwatch will frequently resolve a common watchOS issue. However, if your Apple Watch is not responding or is entirely frozen, you should do a hard reset.
