I had to restore a backup to my iPhone 12 Pro running iOS 15.5. When I open the Watch app it wants me to pair the phone to my watch. I try and fails, telling me the watch may be paired with another phone.
All the instructions about unpairing and repairing assume you can open the Watch app on the phone. I can't get beyond this screen. How can I unpair my watch?
Thanks,
Kyle

Thanks. SO there is no way to re-pair without erasing the watch?
Sadly my watch doesn't appear in the lost.
I bit the bullet and reset the watch from inside the watch.
