Q: iphone 5 and apple pay not working on watch
Just got an Apple Sport Watch for my wife. She has the iPhone 5. iPhone running iOS 8.3, watch upgraded to 1.01. When you try to add a credit card on the phone in the watch app, it says that the phone cannot be in airplane mode and has to be nearby. Will never allow you to add a credit card, even if the phone is sitting on top of the watch. Everything works fine with my Apple Sport on my iPhone 6+. any ideas for the iPhone 5?

Fixed, called Apple Support. They had me unpair the watch, turn the phone off. Wait until the watch finished erasing everything and then turn phone back on. Pair the watch and this time everything worked like it was supposed to. Loaded the credit cards and ready to roll. Seems something was amiss with the phone and the bluetooth. All is good in Apple land.
