How to factory reset your smartwatch
A factory reset erases everything on your watch and returns it to how it came from the factory. This is the fix for most software problems. Back up anything important first, then reset through your watch settings or a companion app on your phone.
When your smartwatch isn't working right, a factory reset wipes everything and starts fresh. It doesn't take long but it will erase all your data, settings, and apps. Before you reset, back up any health data you want to keep because the reset will delete it. After the reset, you'll need to set up your watch again just like it's brand new.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Interrupting the reset while it's happening — never force the watch off during a reset
- Forgetting your account password — recovery it before you reset so you can set up your watch after
- Not backing up health data before the reset — once it's erased, it can't be recovered
Signs you need professional help
- Watch won't turn back on after the reset
- Reset gets stuck and the watch won't finish restarting
- You get an error message during or after the reset
