Good afternoon PavelK96,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


Congratulations on the purchase of your Apple Watch Series 5 Nike edition. I understand you are having an issue setting up your Apple Watch with your iPhone XS. If you have not done so already, please update your iPhone to iOS 12.3.1 and restart it.

Then erase, unpair, and set up your Apple Watch again.


The resources below will help you with this:

Take care.
