Did you unpair the watch from your old phone first?.

iPhone 15 Pro Max won't pair with my Apple Watch Series 6 When I enter the Watch app from my new phone it says, “Good Afternoon” and gives me 2 choices. 1) Pair new watch; or, 2) Pair existing watch. When I try to pair it, the phone says, “Unable to Connect to Apple Watch” I try again, no result. There is no option to unpair the watch, allowing me to re-pair [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Could not connect to Apple Watch My new iPhone 14 plus and new Apple Watch SE + cellular, 2nd gen, are paired and was working great for a couple of weeks. And then 3 days ago, when I tried to connect the phone to the watch, the Watch app on the phone said “Could not connect to Apple Watch.” There was no red icon showing that the devices are not paired. I just can’t connect to my watch via the Watch App on my phone to make changes. Do I need to start over and reset the Watch? And re-pair the Watch and phone?

What setup method did you use for the new iPhone? During Quick Setup mine asked if I wanted to pair with my watch and when I said yes it did so.
