Hello Asia1145,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities.


It sounds like you're looking for assistance with connecting your Apple Watch as it's already paired, right?


If we have that correct, let's give the following steps a try to see what the results are. These steps are found in the related resource, and you can review this again here: If your Apple Watch isn't connected or paired with your iPhone - Apple Support


Try to connect your Apple Watch and iPhone again

1. Keep your Apple Watch and paired iPhone close together to make sure that they're in range.

2. On your iPhone, make sure that Airplane Mode is off and that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are on. To check, open Control Center


3. If you see the Airplane Mode icon  on your watch face, Airplane Mode is on. Open Control Center, then turn off Airplane Mode. 

4. Restart your Apple Watch and iPhone.


If that doesn't help with what's happening, be sure you have the latest software versions installed on the paired iPhone and Apple Watch. We'll include resources below to help with updating either of your devices, if needed:


Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support


Should you need additional assistance, contact Apple Support directly to check into this with you in more detail.


Have a great day!
