Existing watch won’t pair to new phone My watch is unpaired from my old phone. On my new phone, I have selected “pair existing watch” and it says “connecting to your Apple Watch” for no longer than 15 seconds before it says it’s unable to connect. Already restarted all devices. What can I do?

Apple Watch Won’t Pair to New Phone I have unpaired my Apple Watch from the previous phone and also reset the content and settings on there. It’s prompting me to pair my Apple Watch on the old phone, so I think that means it’s been successfully unpaired? I’ve also turned them both off and on again, but my watch will not pair to my new phone. Any help on what can be done?
