Hey Wasags,


Hey there 91_Olive-17,


It sounds like you might not be able to unpair your Apple Watch due to Activation Lock.


Give the steps below a try from About Activation Lock on your Apple Watch:


"If you can't access your iPhone or Apple Watch, or if your Apple Watch isn't paired with your iPhone and you need to turn off Activation Lock:


  1. On a computer, go to iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID.
  2. Go to Find My iPhone.
  3. Select All Devices, then click your Apple Watch.
  4. Click Erase Apple Watch. Select Next until the device is erased.
  5. Click the remove button 'x' next to your Apple Watch."


Let us know how it goes!


Best regards.
