Part 1. What Is Activation Lock?
The Activation Lock feature was released as a part of the Find My feature in various Apple devices like the most recent iPhones and Apple Watches. It basically renders your devices indissociable from your Apple ID. If anyone tries to unbind it from your Apple ID by restoring the device, they will not be able to use it.
Activation Lock will only work if you've activated the Find My feature on your Apple Watch.
As long as the Activation Lock is activated, you won't be able to move past your Apple Watch's main screen. Activation Lock makes your Apple ID credentials required before it is possible for anyone to:
- Unpair your Apple Watch from your iPhone
- Pair your Apple Watch with another device
- Disable Find My on your Apple Watch
There are many different reasons you may want to remove the Activation Lock on your Apple Watch. Maybe you were gifted it second-hand from a family member, forgot Apple watch's passcode or maybe you accidentally activated the feature and now would like it disabled.
Let's go ahead and dive into how to check if this feature is on and how to remove Activation Lock on Apple Watch.
Part 2. How to Remove Activation Lock on Apple Watch?
If you're selling your Apple Watch to others, you'll need to disable Activation Lock on the device. Here are 3 methods to turn off Activation Lock on your Apple Watch without previous owner.
1. Use the Paired iPhone to Disable Activation Lock
Go to your paired iPhone and complete the following steps:
- Go to the Watch app on your iPhone.
- Go into the My Watch > All Watches around the top of your screen.
- Select the info button "i" and tap Unpair Apple Watch, or Remove [Carrier] Plan (for cellular models).
- Confirm with your Apple ID and password. Now the Activation Lock on Apple Watch is turned off.
2. Remove Apple Watch From Account via iCloud
You can go to Apple's iCloud page to remotely turn off Activation Lock on your Apple Watch if your device is not near you or isn't paired with an iPhone.
- Go to iCloud.com, and log in with the Apple ID you used to set up your Apple Watch.
- Go to Find My iPhone > All Devices and find your Apple Watch there.
- Select Erase Apple Watch.
- Click on the remove button "x" to remove Apple Watch from your iCloud account.
3. Try Online IMEI Unlocking Service
If none of these solutions work for you, you can go for online IMEI unlocking service. The benefit of an IMEI unlocking service is that it will be able to unlock your watch usually within 24 hours. And you won't have to bring your Watch anywhere, as most IMEI services are completely remote. However, it is a paid service and you should be careful of its authenticity and your data security.
