How to: Force Reboot of an Apple Watch

It's FREE

The Apple Watch is a stable piece of hardware.  But it is a computer, and sometimes it requires rebooting.  Fortunately, that’s a easy process and only takes a few minutes.

1. Press and hold Both Side Buttons at the same time.
2. Wait for the Apple logo to appear.
3. Release the buttons and wait until you see the normal Apple Watch screen.
4. That’s it.

Unlike a desktop or laptop, rebooting the watch shouldn’t be a frequent occurrence.  If it is, it’s suggested you take it to the nearest Apple Store for service.
