If your Apple Watch needs more than a restart, you can force it to enter DFU mode.DFU mode is a last resort for when your software is acting up and a restart or regular recovery mode isn’t working. When you put your Apple Watch into DFU mode, all of the software on the watch will be erased and then updated with whatever version of watchOS was most recently installed on your iPhone. So, if you’re experiencing problems after updating to a new version of watchOS, putting your watch into DFU mode may fix it.
