I am using Apple watch 3. Last week it started super enlarging the screen. It happens out of nowhere. I was able to reset it and was okay for a few days then did it again. This time I could not get into watch settings to reset. I had to drain battery and recharge to clear the issue. happened for times total. No new apps in last 3 weeks .

Thank you zeusdawg. Problem I'm having is when the screen zooms itself out I can't reduce it back to normal size so I can't get to settings etc.. I tried double tap, pinching and turning the crown. I drained battery yesterday and recharged overnight. Everything seems to be fine now. I will double check watch settings on watch and phone. I may have missed something I thought I did right
 
Wow that's a bit rough... make sure the "Zoom" setting is off in the Apple Watch app on the iPhone under General > Accessibility and it should stop. That's also a good place to see how you may be triggering it. If I'm not mistaken you double tap with two fingers...
 
That was it. I had "Zoom" turned on so I must have done something on the screen to cause it to get so enlarged. I've turned Zoom off. I'll see what happens.
I'm one of those "ready, shoot, aim" type people. I'll keep trying to figure out how something works until I hit a dead end and THEN I look at the manual.
