How to reinstall WatchOS (not erase all settings) but actually wipe and reinstall the OS

[samz7777]

I would like to wipe the OS on my AW 6 and reinstall it. I have a problem with Siri that would not go away after erasing, unpair/repair.

I see there is now the option to recover the watch here https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204776

But this only works if the watch prompted the Phone/Watch animation or the red exclamation mark.

My watch has not given such prompts and I would like to go through the recovery process anyway.

Any ideas? Is there a way to intentionally make the watch give these prompts?

Thanks

It might not just be the watch, could be the phone that runs it.

I’d like to know if this is possible too!
