How to Perform a Hard Reset on Your Apple Watch

To perform a hard reset on your Apple Watch:

1. Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider appear on the screen.
2. Drag the slider to turn off your watch completely.
3. Once your watch is powered off, press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds until you see an Apple logo appear on the screen.
4. Release both buttons when you see this logo; your watch will then begin restarting itself automatically as part of its hard reset process.
5. When prompted, enter in any necessary passcodes or passwords that were previously set up on your device in order to complete the process successfully and access all of its features again once it has finished rebooting itself completely after a few minutes have passed by .
