Has anyone got issues pairing series 3 watch with iPhone 14 pro? It’s asking to do software update on the watch but when continuing the update is not completing.
Hello darshi5,
Have you already had a chance to complete the steps for that type of issue from this page: How to pair your Apple Watch with a new iPhone - Apple Support
If the steps on that link were already completed, there are a few other things to try out.
Try restarting both the iPhone and the Apple Watch to give them a quick refresh:
Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
Ensure the iPhone is on the latest version of iOS as well, which is currently iOS 16.1, as this will help apply the latest improvements/fixes: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
It may also help to try uninstalling the Watch app from the iPhone, and then re-downloading it from the App Store.
If you have any VPNs installed on the iPhone, try temporarily uninstalling them to rule out any possible conflicts.
Cheers.
Hi Eric_G1
Thank you so much for the reply. I got some help yesterday from Apple support specialist team over the phone. Apparently my watch OS had an issue. So it sorted by resetting the watch and then updating the OS.
It all started when I went to Apple high point Vic, Australia to get some help pairing and the consultant told me my series 3 watch is not compatible with the iPhone 14 , my only option is to buy a new one . I was so helpless.
Anyway thank you so much for taking time to reply.
I cannot pair my series 3 watch with iPhone 14 pro. Is there anyway I can do a software update on the watch?
