You can try restarting your watch or resetting it. If it&#8217;s a hardware issue, you may need to take your watch to an Apple Store or an authorized service provider to have it examined.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article discusses how to fix &#8220;Apple Watch Won&#8217;t Turn Off&#8221; issues. First, you should press and hold the side button on your watch to see if it turns back on. If that does not work, try a hard restart or charging your watch. If all of those fail, you may need to visit an Apple Store for support.<br>&#8211;<br>Your Apple Watch screen won&#8217;t turn off? Hold your watch&#8217;s side button until you see the Apple logo. This will enable Power Reserve Mode, which will make your watch display a black screen and switch to battery reserve mode. This can create an appearance of being off, although it is still on. It is most useful for theater or other times when you want to tend people but also want to conserve power in case of an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>If you&#8217;re interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/howtoitech.com\/iphone-charger-wont-stay-in\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"72750\">Iphone Charger Won\u2019T Stay In<\/a>, take a look at my other article<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Apple Watch won&#8217;t turn off, tap your display and disable theater mode; this will turn off audio alerts. Also, make sure that wake screen is turned on in the watch app. To disable theater mode, tap the theater mode icon in the control center or settings glance. To enable it again, tap the crescent moon icon in my watch app. If this doesn&#8217;t work, you can also try toggling wake screen gesture on and off from the watch face or by raising devices to wake it up with wrist raise. Make sure that these settings are properly set so that your Apple Watch won&#8217;t stay on all night long!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Apple Watch won&#8217;t turn off, tap the my watch tab on your iPhone and open the Watch app. From there, you can go to Settings and enable wrist detection. If you have recently updated the usage of your watch software, then make sure to download and install it on your iPhone. If you are still experiencing this issue, then it is best to remove the watch from your iPhone and put it back on after putting it on a charger for a few minutes. Go to the General settings in the Watch app and check that all options are set correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supposedly, Apple gadgets are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/mobile\/apple-watch-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">supposed<\/a> to be the most reliable, but even the Apple Watch can have issues. It\u2019s not uncommon for owners of an Apple Watch and iPhone to tell us that their Apple watch won&#8217;t turn off. Fortunately, there are a few simple solutions that you can try before assuming you have a hardware issue. First try force-restarting your watch by pressing and holding both buttons until it restarts. If this doesn&#8217;t work, go to Settings &gt; General &gt; Reset &gt; Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, if none of those two fixes work, try resetting the network settings on your iPad or iPhone (Settings &gt; General &gt; Reset).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If all else fails, you may need to take your Apple Watch to an Apple Store or contact Apple Support for assistance. If your Apple Watch won&#8217;t turn off, try a simple restart first by pressing and holding the side button until you see the power off slider. Move the slider from left to right, wait a few seconds and then turn on your watch again by pressing and holding the side button until you see the Apple logo. If that doesn&#8217;t fix the issue, try a hard restart by pressing and holding both the side button and Digital Crown at the same time for at least 10 seconds. The screen will remain black if done correctly; however, if it turns back on then simply press and hold down both buttons again until it turns off. If neither of these two fixes work, press and hold either volume button along with the side button until you see an Apple logo on your watch&#8217;s screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FROZEN APPLE WATCH FIX! - How to Force Restart\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ar1dSV5RYmg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Learn How to power on, off, and hard reset the Apple Watch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Apple Watch won&#8217;t turn off, it could be due to a number of reasons. First, check the battery level on your Apple Watch by swiping up from the bottom of your watch&#8217;s display. If you see a green lightning bolt icon, that means that your watch is charging and you should see it turn off soon. If there is no icon, try different charging cables and make sure that your charger has enough power to charge the watch. If you continue to have issues with turning off the watch, then this could be an issue with either the battery or software. If the battery is completely drained on your Apple Watch, try using a cable charger and doing a hard restart of your watch by holding down both the side button and digital crown for 10 seconds until you see an Apple logo appear on the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color has-background\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Advantages<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Solves Issues<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">It is a great tool to help you with iOS system issues on your iOS based devices<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Solves Apple Stuck Logo <\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"> It can help with a stuck Apple logo, an iPad without password, and more<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Solves Loops And Stuck Devices<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">It also solves a screen restart loop, being stuck in recovery mode even after factory reset, and more<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Best To Solve Problems<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"> It is the best way to resolve your problem quickly and easily<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Advantages of UltFone iOS System Repair.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If that doesn&#8217;t work, you may need to take your Apple Watch to an Apple Store for a hardware assessment and possible repair. When the Apple Watch won&#8217;t turn off, it could be because of a software issue or a hardware issue. If the issue is with the software, try using the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and performing a forced restart. To do this, press and hold both the digital crown and side button at the same time for at least 10 seconds until you see an Apple logo appear on the screen. If that doesn&#8217;t work, it&#8217;s likely that there&#8217;s something wrong with the hardware of your watch. To fix this, you&#8217;ll need to take it to an official Apple Store where their technicians can diagnose and repair any problems with your device. They will also be able to determine whether or not your watch needs any new parts to solve the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultfone iOS System Repair is a great tool to help you with iOS system <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ultfone.com\/howtouse\/ios-system-repair.html\" target=\"_blank\">issues<\/a> on your iOS based devices.
