On the watch, go to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. If it is paired, you can also reset from the Watch app on your iPhone.

To reset the Apple Watch, open the Watch app on the iPhone, navigate to My Watch > General > Transfer or Reset Watch > Erase All Content and Settings, and confirm. Alternatively, on the Apple Watch, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, and enter the passcode if prompted. The Apple Watch will restart as if it is brand new.

To reset your Apple Watch, navigate to General → Reset in the Settings app, then choose Erase All Content and Settings. Verify your decision. Use the paired iPhone in the Watch app under General → Reset if you are unable to access the watch. By doing this, the watch's factory settings are restored.

"Hey there. If you're trying to reset your Apple Watch, press and hold the side button until the power off slider shows up. Then, swipe right and tap 'Erase All Content and Settings.' Your watch will restart with all data erased, so make sure to sign back in after it's done. Hope that helps"

To factory reset an Apple Watch, go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings on the watch, or use the Watch app on your iPhone under General > Reset. If you forgot your passcode, place the watch on its charger, hold the side button, then press and hold the Digital Crown.

hey, quick heads up on this. everyone here's telling you how to do a full *factory reset* which wipes everything. if you just mean a normal *reboot* (like turning it off and on again to clear glitches), you just hold the side button until the power off slider comes up, then drag it. wait a minute, then hold the side button again to power it back on. hope that helps with the glitches!
