To reset your Apple Watch to factory settings without your iPhone, follow these steps:
1. On your Apple Watch, tap the Settings app. It looks like a gear icon.
2. Scroll down and tap on “General.”
3. In the General settings, scroll down again and tap on “Reset.”
4. You will see a few options, but choose “Erase All Content and Settings.” This will completely wipe your Apple Watch and restore it to its original factory settings.
5. If your Apple Watch has a passcode, you will be prompted to enter it to confirm the reset.
6. If you have a GPS + Cellular model, you will be given the option to keep or remove your cellular plan. Choose the appropriate option based on your preference.
7. Once you’ve made your selection, tap on “Erase All” to confirm the reset. Your Apple Watch will then begin the process of erasing all its content and settings.
8. Depending on the amount of data on your Apple Watch, the reset process may take a few minutes. Your Apple Watch will restart once the reset is complete.
It’s important to note that resetting your Apple Watch without your iPhone means that you won’t be able to restore any data or settings from a backup. If you have your iPhone available, it’s recommended to unpair your Apple Watch from your iPhone first, as this will create a backup of your data and settings that you can later restore if needed.
In some cases, you may need to reset your Apple Watch without your iPhone if you no longer have access to your iPhone or it’s not functioning. This can happen if your iPhone is lost or stolen, or if you’re using a new iPhone and haven’t yet paired it with your Apple Watch.
