The Apple Watch is managed by an operating system and, like any other electronic device, can sometimes exhibit erratic operation or directly stop responding to user interaction. In these cases, it is best to turn off our device or restart it.
The Apple Watch does not have a power button as if we can find it on an iPhone, iPad or Mac without going any further, so the process of restarting or turning off our Apple Watch when it stops working is somewhat more complicated if we do not know how do what. Here are the steps to follow to restart the Apple Watch.
If our device works erratically, it takes a long time to open the applications and when it does, it works very slowly, we can directly turn off the Apple Watch by pressing the side button and keeping it pressed until the message is displayed on the screen Turn off device.
But if not our device has stopped responding to touch, we will not be able to access the menu that allows us to turn off the device, so we are forced to restart it. To restart the Apple Watch when the screen does not respond, we must perform the following steps:
- Press and hold the Apple Watch digital crown button.
- Without releasing, press and hold the side button of the Apple Watch.
- Now we just have to wait about 10 seconds until the Apple Watch screen shows us the Apple logo. At that time, we can release the two buttons.
Apple Watch updates, on many occasions usually reach despair the user and give the impression that the device has stopped working. We should never restart our device when the Apple Watch is restarting, since it can generate damage to the software that forces us to go to an Apple Store.
