My watch is stuck paring to new phone

Hi there PamPriceTX,

If you are having issues pairing your Apple Watch with your iPhone, these steps from How to pair your Apple Watch with a new iPhone can resolve what's happening:

If your Apple Watch is stuck while pairing

If your Apple Watch gets stuck at the black screen that shows the white Apple logo, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the Digital Crown and the side button at the same time until your watch restarts. Then release the Digital Crown and side button.

2. After your watch restarts, firmly press the screen or press and hold the Digital Crown.

3. Tap Reset.

4. After your watch resets, you can pair it with your iPhone. Bring your iPhone near your watch, then follow the on-screen instructions.

If this continues after following that or if something else is occurring now, please provide more specifics so that we can continue to assist.

Cheers!
