There are lots of reasons you'd want to unpair your Apple Watch. Perhaps you got a new one and you're looking to sell or trade your old smartwatch in. Or maybe you're gifting your older model to someone.

Whatever your reason, it's not too difficult to unpair your Apple Watch. Apple itself has a page dedicated to unpairing your Apple Watch in just a few steps. But — and this is important — as the tech giant notes on its page, unpairing your Apple Watch will erase it. This will effectively be a factory reset, so just take note of that.
