Do you have to sell the Apple Watch? Deactivate activation lock before

And it is that in addition to having a secure device, what we want when we sell an Apple product is that the next to use it can do it without any problem, that is why it is so important to remove the content of the clock as the task we have to perform to disable activation lock.

In this sense, if we have to send the watch to Apple's technical service, give it away or even sell it, it is very important to carry out this step so that the person who receives it can work with it without problems. Really the current iCloud system is very secure in this regard and if we do not follow these steps, the person who receives the watch will not be able to use it.

The first thing we have to do is perform a backup of the watch in case we have or want to use it in a future device, in addition the data, achievements achieved and the rest of the medals are stored in iCloud. So to perform the backup is as simple as unpairing the Apple Watch from the iPhone, and this will generate a backup of the device to iCloud or iTunes.

Once the copy is made, to deactivate the clock we have to follow these steps:

• With the Apple Watch and the iPhone together, we open the Apple Watch app of the iPhone and click on My watch.
• Tap the name of the watch at the top of the screen, then tap 
• We select Unlink Apple Watch. In the Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular) there are more steps, we have to press Delete the plan [operator]. If we are not pairing a different Apple Watch with the iPhone, you may need to contact your carrier to cancel your mobile data subscription
• We write the password of the Apple ID and confirm

These steps can be done remotely, but it's best to do it before you deliver your Apple Watch. In the case that it is already late we can access through iCloud.com so You will have to follow these steps from the web to deactivate activation lock:

1. We came in iCloud.com and we log in with our Apple ID
2. Let's find my iPhone and choose All devices> Apple Watch
3. Click on Delete Apple Watch. We select Next until the device is completely erased
4. We delete the APple Watch from iCloud by clicking on the 

    next to your Apple Watch and voila

Remember that these iCloud keys do not have to be given to anyone to delete the clock from our account or similar, we have total power to delete any Mac, iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, etc, from our home or any computer, so no one has to know our iCloud password at all.
