Hi Cosio79,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having an issue with pairing your Apple Watch to your iPhone. We'd like to help.


Which iPhone are you using? Are you running the most current iOS available for that device? If your not sure, follow these steps to confirm:


  1. Go to Settings
  2. Choose General
  3. Choose Software Update.


If you see an update available, we do recommend that you update after you create a backup. You can do that wirelessly through iCloud, while connected to a Mac, or connected to a PC. Below you're find the steps for connecting to iCloud. If you need steps for connected to a Mac or a PC, let us know which type of computer you have and we'll share those steps as well:
