Apple Watch 2 and iPhone 10xr

Does the Apple 2 watch pair with the iPhone 10xr? It is working with my husband’s 8 but not my new 10xr. Thanks.

Apple Watch Series 2, watchOS 4

Here are more details, in case these breadcrumbs lead to any answers. No, not trying to pair to two phones at once.


  1. My wife used the watch paired to her iPhone 7
  2. She got a new iPhone XR, tried to pair the watch, it wouldn’t pair.
  3. To see if it was something wrong with the watch or the phone, I tried pairing it with my iPhone 8. It paired immediately.
  4. I updated the operating system on the watch, per your instructions.
  5. I then unpaired the watch from my iPhone 8.
  6. My wife tried again to pair the updated and unpaired watch with her iPhone XR. Nothing.
  7. So right now, the watch is not paired to either phone and won’t pair with the iPhone XR.
