Erase all content and settings without going to settings? Can you do it?

the passcode is also easily bypassed with a reset. Pressing down on the side button of the apple watch brings up the power down options and a force press on this screen brings up an option to erase all content and settings.

I can't seem to replicate this and was wondering if anyone else can.

I got it to work by locking the watch first. Then long press the side button and the power off options will appear. Force touch that and then the prompt to erase or cancel will appear.

Ok so it must be locked. Thank you.
