This watch was taken out of service six months ago. Under the heading of I know 
what’s best for you disabled person the person who was uncaring the watch did 
not follow my instructions. Let’s just chalk it up to ignorance about 
capabilities of the blind I know that’s probably off-topic here but that’s 
basically what happened somebody thought they knew better than me what was 
appropriate. Hence the problem so it’s absolutely not about should I have just 
unimpaired it from the phone. The watch was erased and then rebuilt but the 
salesperson who was helping me set up the new watch didn’t bother to listen to 
my instructions. That’s the bottom line.

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

Hello  everyone on the list, here’s the situation I have an Apple Watch series 
3 that I kept after I upgraded to a series of five. Because of everything it’s 
going on my sisters watch is now dying. So I figured I would just erase my 
watch and give it to my sister. Apparently not so fast. Number one the Series 
III has been sitting in a drawer for six months so I unfortunately could not 
remember the passcode. Then while trying to get this fixed, they watch tells me 
that too many attempts please reset and repair. Unfortunately VoiceOver was 
running so when this potential fix froze there apparently is an alternative 
method to accomplish this. The way was explained to me one holds the crown 
down, and the button that’s just underneath the crown on the right side forcing 
the watch to essentially reboot. Then it is apparently able to hold that same 
bottom button down and Shut down then Meares button apparently should appear. 
After spending an hour on the phone with Apple today, and having my cited knees 
help me, it was determined that the watch was defective. Because the screen is 
frozen, and VoiceOver can’t be turned off, sold us the watch cannot be reset. 
That has to be sent back to Apple. But because the watch is out of warranty 
it’s gonna cost a bundle to fix this. Any suggestions? Or is this really the 
end of the road for this device.

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

I'd contact Apple and discuss with them,

If you can get the watch working then yes it's worth it.

So what is the dilemma? Is it weather to get the old watch fixed or to get a 
new series three, then it is a no brainer as the cost is less for the new on 
and you get another warranty. But if it is bother with the watch at all because 
you already have a series 5 then I’d just forget about the old watch, but that 
is just me.

 Unfortunately, the cost is roughly 230 US to get this fixed. So the cost is 
quite high. Since it is out of warranty. Unfortunately it’s 200 to justify a 
new series 3. So it’s a tossup. That’s where the situation is now.

Yes, it makes a big difference.
If you still have the old iPhone, then you could have unpaired the watch.
I think your only option now is to send it into Apple service to get the watch 
reset.  I’m not sure what that will cost, and it is up to you to decide if it

Re: A big Apple Watch problem, is it possible to fix this or should I just bite the bullet and retire the watch.

2020-04-24 Thread Brad Snyder 
I don’t understand why you just didn’t unpair the watch from your iPhone.  That 
would have wiped the watch and it would have been ready to pair with someone 
else’s iPhone.

Know the watch is not St. but my current phone. It was synced with the old 
phone. Does this make a difference?

Hello  everyone on the list, here’s the situation I have an Apple Watch series 
3 that I kept after I upgraded to a series of five. Because of everything it’s 
going on my sisters watch is now dying. So I figured I would just erase my 
watch and give it to my sister. Apparently not so fast. Number one the Series 
III has been sitting in a drawer for six months so I unfortunately could not 
remember the passcode. Then while trying to get this fixed, they watch tells me 
that too many attempts please reset and repair. Unfortunately VoiceOver was 
running so when this potential fix froze there apparently is an alternative 
method to accomplish this. The way was explained to me one holds the crown 
down, and the button that’s just underneath the crown on the right side forcing 
the watch to essentially reboot. Then it is apparently able to hold that same 
bottom button down and Shut down then Meares button apparently should appear. 
After spending an hour on the phone with Apple today, and having my cited knees 
help me, it was determined that the watch was defective. Because the screen is 
frozen, and VoiceOver can’t be turned off, sold us the watch cannot be reset. 
That has to be sent back to Apple. But because the watch is out of warranty 
it’s gonna cost a bundle to fix this. Any suggestions? Or is this really the 
end of the road for this device.
