12 digit passcode for Apple Watch Ultra

Hi, I’ve just bought an Apple Watch to go with my iPhone.


I’m having real trouble pairing it because when I get to the Long password stage it’s seeking a 12 digit code, but the phone will only accept 10 digits.


I’m on a 12 digit password for my iPhone I’ve tried changing that without success.


Anyone out there had a similar problem and found a solution as it’s incredibly frustrating not to be able to pair my new watch with my phone.


Thanks in advance, Tim,

Your phone may be controlled by your company or your college to force long passcode? Talk to your administrator about that, and use of Watch


You should be able to put in a simple passcode for the watch
