If your Apple Watch stops responding or is frozen and you are not sure how to reset Apple watch, you can try these simple “get it back to normal” steps. In this article, we will explain how to get back your Apple Watch to the normal stage when it is not responding properly.
The first thing that anyone would do is to restart their device which is a basic SOS trick. But you need to remember that you can’t restart an Apple Watch when it is charging, you need to remove the charger if you want to restart it.
