# UNWATCH

> Unwatch all keys.

Use `UNWATCH` to forget all the keys watched with [`WATCH`](/redis/commands/transactions/watch) on this connection.

Afterwards the next [`EXEC`](/redis/commands/transactions/exec) is no longer conditional on those keys. It is the way to abandon an optimistic locking attempt when, after reading the watched data, you decide not to run a transaction at all, so a later unrelated transaction is not aborted by a change to keys you no longer care about. [`EXEC`](/redis/commands/transactions/exec) and [`DISCARD`](/redis/commands/transactions/discard) clear watches on their own.

The raw command is TCP-only. Over HTTP, use the transaction or pipeline API of an Upstash SDK instead of sending this command directly.

## Syntax

```redis
UNWATCH
```

## Arguments

This command takes no arguments.

## Important points

- The raw command is TCP-only. For HTTP, use an Upstash SDK transaction API rather than sending this command directly.

## Response

The reply reports the result of the operation. Error replies have the same shape in RESP2 and RESP3 and are surfaced as exceptions by the SDKs below.

| Protocol | Reply |
| --- | --- |
| RESP2 | Simple string `OK` |
| RESP3 | Simple string `OK` |

<Note>
  Client libraries often decode bulk strings, maps, sets, and numeric strings into language-native values. The table describes the Redis wire reply.
</Note>

## Examples

TCP examples use the TLS `REDIS_URL` from the Upstash console. REST examples use `UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL` and `UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN`.
