Hello mks205,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand the Apple Watch doesn't pair to your iPhone. I'll do what I can to help.
Here are some suggestions:
- Verify Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are both enabled on the iPhone.
- Restart both the iPhone and Apple Watch and try pairing again:

Thanks and have a great day.
