If you’re having issues with your Google Pixel watch, resetting it to factory settings can be a useful solution. However, the process can be tricky, so it’s important to follow the steps carefully to avoid damaging your device. In this guide, we’ll show you how to reset your Google Pixel watch using the recovery menu and remove any screen lock protection in the process.
Before we begin, make sure that your watch’s battery level is at least above 30%. If the battery dies during the resetting process, it may damage your device. Once you’ve confirmed your battery level, follow these steps:
1. Turn off your watch by pressing and holding the account button. Keep holding it until you see the power menu on the screen, then tap on the power off option. Wait for about 30 seconds after the watch turns off.
2. To turn on the watch, press and hold the crown button. Once you see the white Google logo on the screen, tap on the left top corner of the touchscreen and the bottom right corner of the touchscreen at the same time. This may take a couple of tries, but once you tap on them, you should see the fastboot message on the screen, and your watch should enter the fastboot mode.
3. Press the side button to continue, and the menu will appear. Use the side button to scroll through the options and select the recovery mode option. Press the crown button to confirm.
4. Once you see the no command on the screen, press and hold the account button and swipe up on the screen to continue. This should open the recovery menu. Use the touchscreen to move through this menu by swiping up and down on the screen.
5. Scroll down and select the option “wipe data/factory reset.” Confirm by pressing the crown button or swiping left and right on the screen. Select the factory data reset and confirm.
6. Wait until the wiping process is complete, and once it is complete, make sure that the “reboot system now” option is selected and confirmed by swiping left or right on the screen.
7. Once you see the animation on the screen, the factory reset is complete.
