If you’re facing issues like Apple Watch being unresponsive or stuck, then a force restart can help you solve these issues.
In this tutorial, we will share instructions on how you can easily force restart your Apple Watch and quickly solve many of its software issues and improve performance.
You can follow these steps on all models of Apple Watch including Apple Watch Series 10, Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Ultra, Apple Watch Ultra 2, and older generations.
Force Restart Apple Watch Series 10 or Apple Watch Ultra
- To force restart your Apple Watch press and hold the Digital Crown and Side button simultaneously.
- Keep both of these buttons pressed as your Apple Watch’s screen turns black.
- Let go of both the buttons as soon as you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.
- Wait as your Apple Watch boots up.
Remember the bootup time often increases when the Apple Watch has been force restarted. This time is a bit longer than a normal bootup when the Apple Watch is turned off and turned on.
After the Apple Watch bootup is complete, you should be able to use it without any issues, and the problem you were facing before the reboot should now be resolved.
And that’s it, this is how you can force restart Apple Watch and fix issues with it.
