Hi all,
I have an Apple Watch 2 Nike Edition that’s about 5-6 years old now and it keeps resetting itself over and over while charging. I’ve reset it back to factory settings, unpaired it and repaired it with my iPhone and those things haven’t worked. Is my watch pretty much toast? Should I just be getting a new one? Thanks.
Hello duffmanth,
Does the same issue happen when it's not charging, or does it exclusively happen while charging?
If it happens only while it's charging then it may help to try using a different cable and power adapter, if possible, to help rule out issues caused by the current one.
The following may also help:
1. Take the watch off its charger.
2. Press and hold the side button on the watch until the Power Off slider appears.
3. Drag the Power Off slider to the right to turn off the watch.
4. Keep the watch turned off and disconnected from its charger for at least 30 minutes.
5. Turn on the Apple Watch.
Cheers.

Greetings duffmanth,
It sounds like there may be a battery issue causing the unexpected restarts. Seek service to have your Apple Watch diagnosed to help resolve the issue. The following article will help you to set up service (you may need to change the location in the lower-right corner):

Kind regards.
Hi,
I don’t think it’s the cable? I’ve tried everything, it’s still rebooting over and over while charging. I think it’s just a tired, old watch lol? The battery life isn’t what it use to be and the crown doesn’t even turn anymore. It’s been a great watch for over 5 years, I think it’s just time for a new watch?
Thanks!
