Apple Watch Keeps Asking For Passcode (Fix it)

If you have the problem that your Apple constantly asks for passcode, even if you still wear it and don't do anything about it, then try these couple of things, hopefully it will help you.

Hope you enjoy.

***IMPORTANT*** For those with tattoos, this may be an issue. I have a tattoo on my left wrist, and there would even be times when I was actively touching the screen and it would suddenly ask for passcode. Saw some information about the tattoo problem, and slid the watch further down my wrist that isn’t covered. Suddenly started working as intended. If you are having this same issue, I suggest trying to find a bare spot on your wrist or switching to the other wrist. Too bad this video didn’t cover that. Maybe I should make one that gets straight to the problem and outline the solutions.

Way too much talking. Get to the point.

Bro we know how the Apple Watch functions, just tell us how to fix it bro

I have full sleeves and hand tattoos, but luckily and unluckily on my left wrist my hand and sleeve don’t connect so there is bare skin there but I’m left handed.. that’s the only spot I can get it to work, it’s a biometrics sensor and it’s very sensitive to tattoos, if your passcode keeps wigging out and you have tats that’s your problem, cheers.

Thank you so much!! I am new to the Apple Watch, and I was so frustrated!!

Thanks for the video, had this very annoying issue and your video solved it. Would have been nice for Apple to make it open via Face ID, so no need for both hands especially if you forget the phone at home, (which I admit to doing) regards.

could it be because i have tattoos on my wrist, which deters with notifications n wrist detection?

😂 Thanks. Didn't even think to put it on. Lol😂

“That means, that the Apple Watch knows when it is on your wrist, and when it is not.”
*places it on wrist and watch doesn’t know it*

Hi, My apple watch passcode button seems disabled. Both phone and watch. Is there any solutions this issue ?

I used to be able to use the "flashlight mode" on my apple watch, but now I can't find the flashlight icon, how do I get it back on the watch. Thank you

Great information!!! But you talk so quickly I can’t follow what you’re saying. Plus when you use the face of the watch for the presentation it’s difficult for me to know what your pressing ie you went to settings to begin, and I could barely see it!! Again, fabo info…. Mb make a slower video for beginners like myself, and magnify the size of the watch face so we can see exactly what we need to open up to get there?
Thank you!!!

Thanks! - I'm interested in this because setting up the passcode on the watch is a prerequisite to automatically unlocking your Mac

Non of these features work on my I watch 6 so disappointing for a 6th series of a I watch

Does passcode lock have to be on when use Apple Pay????

[thebiggestweirdo]

Can you help me so basically it has a voice thing and when we enter the password it doesn’t let me enter it, it keeps saying the numbers instead of actually putting the numbers in please help this is my first Apple Watch

[labretbear]

Ty! You're right, my band tooo large !

[RajPatel-mgzo]

For me it says that I have a setting that needed my I phone to unlock my Apple Watch why is this? Plus, my password doesn't work so I am locked out of my watch
