Unpair Apple Watch without iPhone


If you need to unpair your Watch and don’t have access to your iPhone or can’t remember your Apple Watch passcode, follow these steps:


Put your Apple Watch on its charger

Press and hold the side button as if you were going to power it down

Do a firm press on the POWER OFF slider and let go

Tap Erase all content and settings



Alternately, you can go to Settings ? General ? Reset to erase and unpair your Apple Watch if you know your passcode, but the option above is faster.
