How To Unpair Apple Watch?

When you are in the process of unpairing your Apple Watch, you should know that you are essentially resetting it up to its original factory settings. This generally means that your smartwatch is going to be restored to the state that it was in when you took it out of the box for the very first time. All the personal data that you have on it is going to be erased along with all the settings that you managed to get done will be gone.

However, when you reset the Apple Watch, you will be able to get a fresh start with this gadget - you will feel as if it is brand new and ready to be set up again from scratch.

Important Steps to Prepare for Unpairing the Apple Watch

First things first, before you start doing anything, here we are going to learn about how to unpair the Apple Smart Watch from the iPhone that you have paired it with. When you do this, not only will it remove the Activation Lock but also will be able to reset it to the factory settings, which will consequently erase all the data that you had stored up along with all the settings that you saved.

There are also a couple of cases where the person does not have any access to the paired iPhone anymore, however, you can rest assured that you can still get the Smart Watch erased. However, you must know that without the paired phone, the activation lock will remain active.

Also, many people have their device linked up to a transit card that is in the Wallet App, if you are one of them, make sure that you remove your card before you unpair your gadget.

You may find it worth noting that, unlike all the other devices, this Apple smartwatch does not come with a physical slot for your SIM or even a reset button. So, you really should not waste your precious time searching for it, because you certainly are not going to find it.

You may see the small openings that are on the side of the gadget, and while you may mistake them for a slot for SIM or something else, it is not so. These small openings are designed to have a seamless experience with sound transmissions that take place to and from the microphone and speakers. To avoid any damage, make sure that you are not inserting any objects in these openings.

If you take these precautions, it will help in ensuring a smooth and safe unpairing process for your tech timepiece.
