The Apple Watch is simple to use and can effortlessly connect with any iPhone — but it can also do some tasks without a paired device, such as being reset. The Apple Watch is more powerful today than it's ever been. From increasingly more capable chipsets, better displays, and improved health tracking features, it's pretty amazing how far the Apple Watch has come since its initial release in 2015.
One of the more interesting evolutions of the Apple Watch is how much more capable it's become without a paired iPhone. Apple Watch apps now run as standalone ones separate from their iOS counterparts, integrated GPS chips allow you to get accurate running/biking data, and optional LTE models mean you can still access calls, texts, and data on the Apple Watch — all without being near your iPhone. The Apple Watch still needs an iPhone for some tasks (such as the initial setup process), but it's far more independent today than it was a few years ago.
This also applies to resetting an Apple Watch. Traditionally, an Apple Watch is reset through its paired iPhone. This is done by opening the Watch app on your iPhone, tapping 'General,' scrolling to the bottom of the page, and then tapping 'Reset.' But what are you supposed to do when you need to reset your Apple Watch, and your paired phone isn't with you? Thankfully, Apple has a solution for this too.
