Hello dorie146,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, you're trying to pair your Apple Watch but made too many attempts at the passcode and you reset the watch and tried to pair again but it won't pair. We're happy to help!


If you're trying to pair your watch with a new phone make sure that you've unpaired it from the old phone or it won't pair to the new one. The article below will help you with unpairing the watch.
