I have repeated this process several times...
Connect your Apple Watch to its Apple Magnetic Charging Cable.
Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
Force Press Power Off and tap Erase all content and settings.
However, my watch always returns to a locked state. It does not appear as a paired device on my phone nor can I re-pair the watch.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
