First check you have no other sports watches like Fitbit that are paired to your iPhone.

Ensure the iPhone is on iOS16.3 or later

Then force restart the watch. i.e. press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, then release both buttons when you see the Apple logo.

Then Force Restart the paired iphone 

Force restart iPhone – Apple Support (UK)

Then in the iphone, Settings, General, Transfer or reset iphone, Reset, Reset network settings. Then reconnect the iPhone to Wi-Fi.

Make sure you have no VPN or VPN based adblocker in the iphone in Settings, General, VPN & Device Management.

Then reset the router to factory settings which usually involves a paperclip on a little hole.

Try again to pair the Watch.
