Are you experiencing issues with your Apple Watch Series 1’s touch screen not working? Don’t worry, you are not alone! Over the past few months, many users have reported issues with their Apple Watch Series 1 touch screens not responding correctly.

In this blog post, we will be discussing possible causes of the issue and how to troubleshoot them. We will also be discussing how to use the safe mode feature on your device to help identify and fix any potential problems.

So let’s get started! First off, let’s look at what can cause your Apple Watch Series 1 touch screen not to work properly. The most common cause is dirt, grease or oil on the surface of the watch which can prevent it from accurately sensing your finger presses. Another potential cause could be that you are wearing gloves that are not touchscreen friendly. Finally, if you have a screen protector or case for your device that is incompatible with it, this could also be causing problems with the touch screen as well.

If you think any of these might be causing your issue, then there are a few steps you can take to try and fix it. Firstly, press your phone’s power button for about 30 seconds until it restarts. When the screen appears again, tap ‘Restart’. This should clear away any dirt or debris on the surface of the watch which may have been preventing it from functioning correctly.

If restarting does not solve the problem then you may need to enter safe mode in order to identify and fix any technical bugs or pairing issues that could be causing problems with your device’s touch screen functionality. To enter safe mode on an Apple Watch Series 1 simply press and hold both side buttons util you see a power off slider appear on the display; slide this slider from left to right and wait for the device to reboot into safe mode. Once here you can try swiping up on the watch face as normal; if this works then great! If however it doesn’t then you may need to unpair and re-pair your Apple Watch with its connected iPhone in order to restore its upward swipe functionality again.
