Hi BigDi,


You can use the following steps to pair your watch manually.


  1. On the Apple Watch, press and hold the Side button (next to the Digital Crown) until the Apple logo is displayed.
  2. On your iPhone, tap the Watch app icon .
  3. Tap Start Pairing on the iPhone.
  4.  A pairing animation should appear on the Watch.
  5. Tap Pair Apple Watch Manually on the iPhone.
  6. On the Watch, tap the Info icon on the bottom right of the screen.
  7. On the iPhone, tap the Apple Watch that corresponds to the name displayed on your Apple Watch.
  8. On the iPhone, enter the 6-digit code that is displayed on the Watch.


Hope this works!
