There comes a time for all devices when they require a reset to their original settings to do a deep clean and get their features back . Some require it sooner, others later, but none are exempt from this, not even smartwatches with Wear OS.

Luckily, this process is quite easy to do in Google’s operating system for smartwatches. With just a few steps you can leave your watch as new and configure it as you wish again. What should you do? This:

  1. Go to the settings menu of your Wear OS smartwatch.
  2. Navigate to the “System” submenu and open it.
  3. Tap on “Disconnect and restart” and confirm the action.

At this point, the watch will be reset to its factory settings, but your mobile still has device registration, so there are a few more steps to complete the task.

    • Go to Wear OS advanced settings (at the bottom of the home screen) and tap “forget watch”.
  3. Now that everything is disconnected, pair your watch with your mobile again to start using it.

With this you will be able to use your watch to its maximum capacity again , although you will have to reinstall applications and others. On the other hand, we must tell you that these steps apply to Wear OS 2 or earlier versions. However, the process for Wear OS 3 and above is very similar, though not identical. The reason? There is more customization by manufacturers and some move the menus and options to another place, as is the case with the customization layers in Android.
