Remove  Watch from Apple ID -

Go to icloud.com and login

Open Find iPhone.

In the All Devices pulldown menu select your Watch.

In the resulting sheet that appears to the right choose erase Apple Watch.

Then Remove the watch from your Apple ID.


This should reset the watch to the factory settings for you to setup as new and repair to your iPhone.


You can restore the watch from a previous backup if you have one.
