Apple Watch Series 3 won't connect to iPhone 12 mini

Hello there!

I wanted to use my Apple Watch Series 3 with my iPhone 12 mini.

Yesterday evening I paired both, and it worked fine. This morning, the watch didn't want to connect to my phone. So, I reset the watch. Now it won't connect to my phone at all. When I try to pair them both, it keeps throwing me back to the pair screen with all the progress gone.

I tried to pair it to my old iPhone SE I have around - and see there! It worked. I can pair it and use the watch.

It just doesn't want to connect to my iPhone 12 mini. I don't know what to do.

Thanks for reaching out, nixzufeiern! We can help you with getting your Apple Watch paired.

First, check out the steps in the article, Set up and pair your Apple Watch with iPhone. If you find you still have difficulty pairing, try these steps next:

"If you see a watch face when you’re trying to pair: Your Apple Watch is already paired to an iPhone. You need to first erase all Apple Watch content and reset settings.

If the camera doesn’t start the pairing process: Tap Pair Apple Watch Manually at the bottom of the iPhone screen, and follow the onscreen instructions.

If Apple Watch isn’t pairing with iPhone: See the Apple Support article If your Apple Watch isn’t connected or paired with your iPhone."

Give those steps a try, and see if there is any improvement.

Take care!
