In certain situations, you may need or want to restart your watch. You can restart it in a couple ways, either through the settings or by using your watch's hardware.
To restart through Settings:
-
If your screen is dim, touch the screen to wake up the watch.
-
Touch anywhere on the background of the screen. You'll see a white screen with a red "g."
-
Touch again anywhere on the screen to see a menu of things you can do.
-
Scroll until you see Settings
-
Touch Settings
-
Scroll until you see Restart
, then touch to restart.
Note: For another way to get to Settings, say "Ok Google, Settings" from your active watch face.
You can also restart your watch using your watch's hardware.
If you need to clear all data from your watch, you can reset your watch to factory settings.
Reset your watch to factory settings
By resetting your watch to its factory settings, you will erase all data stored on the watch. This data cannot be restored. This data includes your active notifications and cards, fitness data, any installed third party apps and any data they have stored, and system settings and preferences. The data stored in your Google Account, however, is not affected.
Resetting your watch won't factory reset your phone or tablet.
After you reset your watch to factory settings, you need to pair your watch with your phone again.
To reset to factory settings, follow these steps:
-
If your screen is dim, touch the screen to wake up the watch.
-
Touch anywhere on the background of the screen. You'll see a white screen with a red "g."
-
Touch again anywhere on the screen to see a menu of things you can do.
-
Scroll until you see Settings
-
Touch Settings
-
Scroll until you see Reset device
, then touch to reset.
Note: For another way to get to Settings, say "Ok Google, Settings" from your active watch face.
