Steps
Keep the watch close to your iPhone and make sure both have some charge. Unpairing wipes the watch, so back up anything you want to keep first.
Open the Watch app on the iPhone that is paired with the watch.
Tap All Watches in the top left corner of the screen.
Tap the info icon (the small i in a circle) next to your Apple Watch Ultra 4.
Scroll down and tap Unpair Apple Watch Ultra 4.
Confirm the action when asked, then enter your Apple ID password to turn off Activation Lock.
Wait while the watch disappears from the app and resets to factory settings. Leave it on the charger during the reset.
Tips and common mistakes
If you do not know your Apple ID password, reset it before starting, or the watch will stay locked to your account.
Unpairing from the Watch app is better than erasing the watch alone, because it also removes Activation Lock.
Keep the watch on its charger while it resets so the process does not stop partway.
Questions
Do I need my Apple ID password to unpair the watch?
Yes. You enter it to disable Activation Lock. Without it, the watch stays tied to your account.
Will unpairing erase everything on the watch?
Yes. The watch resets to factory settings, so all data and settings are removed.
What if the Unpair button is greyed out?
Make sure the iPhone is connected to the internet and the watch is nearby and charged, then reopen the Watch app and try again.
