Hello nyiko243,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

We want to help so you can complete the pairing process between the iPhone and Apple Watch.

Try the steps here:

"If the pairing process stalls

If it seems like the pairing process has stalled — for example, the pairing animation remains on the screen for several minutes — resetting your Apple Watch might help:

  1. Press and hold the Digital Crown while your Apple Watch is in pairing mode.
  2. Tap Reset when it appears on your watch.
  3. After your watch resets, you can pair again."

We hope this helps to get the Apple Watch pairing without any issues.

Cheers!
