Hey Moah, I'm sorry your having problems connecting to your Apple Watch, here are a few tips that might help;


  1. Make sure bluetooth is enabled on your device. Apple Watch pairs to your iPhone via Bluetooth and needs to be turned on.
  2. Check to see wether or not your iPhone or Watch are on airplane mode. If so, this will also prevent either of the devices from pairing.
  3. Reset your watch and pair again. ( Make sure its backed up, just in case)
  4. Try visiting https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205025 for more help.


Hope this was useful!
