Hello. My trouble is: when i try to pair my Apple Watch Series 2 to my IPhone 11 Pro (IOS 13.3) it stuck at connecting Apple Watch screen. Please help me.
P.S. I dont know version of WatchOS
Apple Watch
You should all try this!
Reset the Apple Watch.
Try logging off your iCloud account on your phone and logging back in.
But that what worked for me was deleting your old Apple Watch backups.
-> Settings
-> General
-> iPhone storage
-> Scroll down to (on my phone)
-> If there is any kind of Apple watch backups, delete those
-> Then restart your Apple watch and phone and try normal pairing
Having the same infuriating issue... for an iPhone 11 for my mom, trying to setup a series 3 watch and it’s not working. The update initially said it was going to take over a day. We went to bed with that running, tried to finish the setup today and now it’s stuck. It says to update, I click update, then it tells me software is up to date on 5.2.6 I think. Sometimes it’ll ask me if I want to skip the update but no matter what I do it never gets passed connecting to Apple watch this may take a moment. Not sure what else to do?? Phone is up to date. New Apple account, phone and watch.
Well I grabbed an old iPhone that’s running iOS 12 and it paired without problems. It wouldn’t let me update the watch to watchOS 6 cuz it says my iPhone first needed update but my old iPhone only goes to iOS 12. So I reset the watch and I’ll try pairing again.
I had the same thing happen to me with my series 3 apple watch. It was working fine and then the update came out and just like everyone else says it keeps getting stuck saying "connecting your apple watch" regardless if I try to set up the update or pair it as a new apple watch. Nothing works. I spent over an hour on the phone with customer support and nothing worked. They were going to have me mail it in to get fixed but a senior tech support got on the phone and told me they wouldn't do that and I have to find a local shop that fixes it. Or I can wait until the Apple stores reopen (closed from COVID-19) to have someone check it out there. It's 2 years old so it's out of warranty. SO annoying!
I have the same problem with my watch series 4 and my Iphone XS.
Apple support told me there is nothing they can do and I have to wait for a new software update. I had this issue before the 13.5.1 update. They are saying since I am out of warranty they cannot fix it. Meanwhile, I did not damage the phone or watch. This is on their end.
They said I may have to wait months for a fix!
I really hope it’s fixed soon.
Yes I tried another watch at the store and had the same error. Hope they fix it soon. I checked the Apple servers and all are fine so it’s not that.
I have the same problem. Is it fixed
None of these suggestions worked. How did you get yours to work specifically?

Same case here!
Hello hyris was you able to solve this problem and if so how because I am having the same problem right now.
This did not help
Did you fix it yet?
Sadly I have the same problem
"Connecting your Apple Watch. This may take a moment" stuck.
