Apple Watch not pairing with fitness plus on IPAD

I was having the same problem and tried many many solutions, none worked. What finally worked for me was to turn off Bluetooth on my phone and then to open up the Fitness app on my iPad and it was able to connect my watch to my iPad. Then I turned on Bluetooth on my iPhone and it now works on both devices.

I’ll start with, you shouldn’t have to do this but, this worked for me. I had all the same issues with both Apple TV and IPad. It’s simple try this. Backup your iPhone so that you have the most recent data saved. Then you simply need to unpair your Apple Watch and pair it again. You can pair it from the back up you did so you don’t loose any data.

Hello, this has been happening to me as well for 2 weeks already. All I had to do was unpair the watch from my iphone (setting it up as a new watch again) and voila! It worked long as its close to the Ipad. hope it helps and yours finally work!

Having restarted iPad and watch multiple times, I could only get fitness+ to work on my phone and watch synched which is less than ideal - I took the advice of another user here who opened the home app and that resolved things to allow iPad and watch to work together

Sorry to hear that Borderlineatoms999. Wonder if the Ipad hardware model makes a difference. Mine is an Ipad Air 2. I figured taking the drastic action of erasing all data and content, I could see at what step the app works or does not work, knowing that I could go back to my backup if it made no difference. Luckily for me, after I erased and started setting up the Ipad as a brand new device, I basically started the Home app as my first activity, then downloaded the Fitness+ app as my next activity and that seemed to do the trick. Then I went ahead and started adding in my other apps I use frequently. At this point I am planning to not use the backup anymore.

After recent update I experienced the same issue. Tried all that was written here and contacted Apple support, which didn’t help. One thing stuck in my mind while talking to Apple support. They asked me if I signed under same ID in all my devices. And I was. I was told to wait for the new update and I didn’t mind.

Later on today I decided to change the password and re-login on all devices and somehow this password changing fixed an issue. Hope this will be helpful for someone who is experiencing the same problem.

Make sure your watch is up to the latest software. I had to update mine and it works perfectly now.

I managed to get it to work by turning off my watch, phone and iPad and the turning them all back on again. After that it worked straight away.

Finally that worked for me!! Turned off all my devices and then turned them on, checked Bluetooth on for all and then tried it worked like a charm.

To me the issue was that my watchOS was not in the most updated version. I updated it and it worked perfectly.

This worked for me. I did the same with the Apple TV as that was not recognising my watch either. Signing out of iCloud and then signing back in worked. Thank you.

I had the same problem and it was resolved today with the new software update 7.2.

I had this issue, Apple support couldn’t help but the post below worked! I just needed to run the “Home” app on the iPad, simple as that :-)

I had posted a reply back on 12/20 to original post where I said turning off Bluetooth on phone and opening Fitness app on my iPad and it worked. I now remember downloading the Home App to both the iPad and the iPhone before I did the Bluetooth thing. I'm now thinking based on Daniell3's post that perhaps it was the Home App that got it to work for me.

Tried all suggestions plus and none worked. Until I set up the home app on both my phone and iPad. Went back into the Fitness account after launching Home on both phone and iPad and it connected right to my watch! Very thankful for the user who suggested this!
