Why is your Apple Watch blocked?
Your Apple Watch can become disabled for a number of reasons. This usually occurs due to security measures designed to protect your data. One of the most common causes is entering an incorrect passcode too many times, which automatically disables your Apple Watch to prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, your Apple Watch can also become disabled if you have the Lost Mode feature enabled through the Find My app, which renders the device unusable until it is unlocked again by the owner. It is important to carefully manage your passcode and back it up regularly to avoid losing important data.
