Successfully Pairing Apple Watch to an iPhone:


Try the Following:


First, Try Updating Both Devices:

Perhaps there are some bugs that need to be fixed. To fix these, update both.


Then... Attempt this Once More:

  1. Pair them: Set up and pair Apple Watch with iPhone - Apple Support
  2. From There: If your Apple Watch isn't connected or paired with your iPhone - Apple Support
