Unable to pair watch after getting new phone. I did not impair watch from my old phone and did get new wifi at home around the same time I got a new phone. I don’t think that this watch has ever been connected to new wifi. My watch cannot pair to my new iPhone because it needs an update. But every time I try to update, I get a message that says “cannot check for update because you are not connected to the internet” even though I AM connected to the internet through my iPhone. I wonder if this “not connected” refers to the watch alone. And if it does, how can I possibly connect it to wifi if it won’t pair with phone? help!

Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch.

Tap Wi-Fi. Your device automatically searches for networks.

Tap the name of the network that you want to join. If you have Apple Watch Series 6, you can connect to 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks. Apple Watch Series 5 and earlier and Apple Watch SE, can only connect to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks.

If asked, enter the password using Scribble or the Apple Watch keyboard.
