Q: Apple watch won't stay connected to iPhone 7
I unpaired my Apple Watch from my old iPhone 6, reset it, and paired it to my new iPhone 7. Since then, it keeps losing its connection, even though the two devices are never more than 3 feet apart. This is killing the battery on the Apple Watch in short order.
Is this happening to others? Any suggestions on how to keep them connected?
iPhone 7, iOS 10

Hi
The following steps may help:
- Restart both your iPhone and your watch, turning both off together, then restarting your iPhone first;
- Unpair and pair your watch again:
- The Watch app on your iPhone takes a backup of your watch automatically when unpairing via the app. Choose to Restore from Backup during set up. Most data and settings will be restored, with some exceptions (eg Apple Pay cards, passcode).
- Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support
- Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support
