In this guide, we will learn: How to Reset Pixel Watch From Phone and Watch – guide 2023
So, let’s begin!
There are three ways to reset a Pixel Watch. Each method requires the watch to be powered on because there isn’t a physical reset button or hole.
Reset From the Pixel Watch App
If your phone is nearby, you can use the Google Pixel Watch app.
- Scroll down the main screen and tap System.
- Choose Reset and unpair watch.
- Select Reset on the confirmation prompt.
If you have a Pixel Watch with LTE, you’ll also see an Erase downloaded SIM toggle you can switch on.
Reset From the Pixel Watch
There’s a setting within the watch itself that lets you factory reset Pixel Watch.
- Swipe down from the top of the screen and tap the Settings/gear icon.
- Go to System, and then Disconnect & reset on the next screen. You can erase the eSIM, too, if you have a watch with LTE.
- Select the checkmark to start the reset process.
Reset With ‘Find My Device’
You can also use Google Find My Device. This technique is ideal if you’ve lost your watch, and it’s still connected to the internet. While you could do this with the Google Find My Device Android app, we’ll use the web version in this walkthrough.
- From the Find My Device website, select the watch you want to reset.
- Select ERASE DEVICE from the list of options.
- Select ERASE DEVICE again. If you’re asked to log in to your Google account, do so now.
- On the confirmation prompt, select Erase.
