Apple watch won’t pair to peloton bike+

When I try and pair my watch series 6 to my peloton bike+, my watch wont give me the on-screen prompt to ‘connect’.


instead, my watch asks me to select a workout. The bike wont display my heart rate or push any data to peloton.


how can I fix this?

Try the following:


  1. Deleting the app on your watch by holding down app logo
  2. Deleting the app on your phone
  3. Reinstall the app on your phone, which will push the app to your watch
  4. Go to the peloton app on your phone and setup your watch
  5. Perform a hard reset on your watch by holding down the crown and the side button at the same time until it resets
  6. Perform a hard reset on your phone
  7. Try connecting to the bike


Good luck, it worked for me.

I just got a response from Peloton... here their suggestions: (I haven’t tried yet, I’ll do it as soon as I got back home)



Thank you for contacting Peloton!


In order to reconnect your Apple Watch to your Bike+, you will need to first restart your Apple Watch and then perform a factory reset on your Bike+.



To factory reset your touchscreen, please follow the steps below:


1. Tap the time on the top right of your touchscreen and select “Settings” from the dropdown menu.


2. From this screen you will need to select "System"


3. Select “Factory Data Reset” and then “Reset Tablet.”


4. Confirm the selection by selecting “Erase Everything.”


Once completed, you will have to sign back into your network and download the most recent update again.


Please let us know if this resolved the issue, we look forward to hearing from you!

I had issues with connectivity between the Apple Watch and Peleton+. Today I got these instructions, which fixed my issue:


1. Tap the WiFi icon on the top right of your HD Touchscreen and select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.

2. From the new menu, select "Apps."

3. Tap the "Peloton" app from the list of applications.

4. "Force Stop" the application, then select "Storage", then "Clear Cache."

I tried a couple of procedures, but they only worked temporarily. The procedure that really fixed my connectivity issue between Peleton+ and Apple Watch is called the Static Discharge procedure, which was given to me by the Peleton rep (below). I applied this procedure six weeks and I have not observed any further issues. Here it is:


1. Power down your Bike's touchscreen by pressing and holding the power button. Skip to step 2 if unable to power down the touchscreen.

2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the Bike, and the two cords from the back of the touchscreen.

3. While the Bike is unplugged, press and hold the volume up and the power button at the same time for 30 seconds.

4. Keep the Bike unplugged for at least 1 full minute.

5. Plug the cords back in, and press and hold the power button until the screen illuminates.

Have you tried the "Static Discharge procedure"? It was given to me by the Peleton rep and it worked very well for me. Good luck

  5. Power off your HD touchscreen by holding the power button at the top of the touchscreen, then power it back on.

These did not correct the connection problem with Bike+ and Apple Watch. He did inform me That they are aware of the problem & are working to correct this.
