Troubleshooting
Watch won't turn on
Ensure the watch is charged. Connect it to the charger for at least 15 minutes, then try turning it on again. If the issue persists, try a forced restart by holding the Digital Crown and side button for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
Pairing issues with iPhone

Inaccurate activity tracking
Ensure your personal information (height, weight, age) is accurate in the Health app. Verify that the Activity app permissions are enabled on your iPhone. For outdoor activities, ensure GPS is enabled and has a clear view of the sky.
Poor battery performance
Check battery usage in the Watch app on your iPhone. Reduce screen brightness, disable background app refresh for non-essential apps, and limit notifications. Ensure your watch software is up to date.
