Apple watch slow and unresponsive

Is erasing the watch really the best solution? What happens to all my fitness records and all the smart Apple machine learning stuff my watch has built up over the last two years? I want to address my issues (similar to what sarabently11 was facing) but don't want to give up all my usage history... or is that really all that important to begin with?

Thanks for reaching out SaraBentley111,

It sounds like you're having some trouble with the performance of your Apple Watch. We can help.

A good place to start is with charging your Apple Watch fully, and then Unpair and erase your Apple Watch. Then pair it with your iPhone again, using this article as a guide: Set up and pair your Apple Watch with iPhone.

If the issue persists after that, you can connect with Apple directly using either Get Support or if you're in a region without direct support options, you can also Contact Apple for support and service.

Hope that helps.

Take care.
