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.
