Soft Restart (Preserves Data)

Use this for temporary issues like freezing, slowness, or minor glitches.

Navigate to General
Tap Reset
Select Factory data reset

The reset takes 5-10 minutes and returns the watch to out-of-box condition.

Hard Reset (Alternative Method)

Use this when the watch is unresponsive and you can't access settings.

Power off the watch completely
Press and hold both the power button and home button simultaneously
Continue holding until the recovery menu appears
