Apple Watch Series 3 no BlueTooth connection

Hello,

I am having trouble connecting my Apple Watch Series 3 to my iPad and iPhone to use with the Fitness + App. After looking online for a while I cannot find a solution, so far I have updated all three devices to the latest OS, I have reset and re-paired my Apple Watch with my iPhone but when I go into the Bluetooth settings in all devices the watch does not appear and the watch itself is constantly searching but never finds anything.

I mainly want to use it on my iPad but also with my iPhone which it is paired with when I go into Fitness + it cannot find a watch to connect to.

The devices I am using are Apple Watch Series 3 Wifi only, 2020 iPad pro wifi only, and an iPhone 11 pro.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks.

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7

Try doing anther wipe of the Apple Watch and connect it to the phone again.

But this is starting to look like a problem with the watch it’s self. And you might need to go to Apple to get it fixed or replaced.

Do you get notifications on the watch?

are you able to open the camera app on the watch and see your phones camera?

Hi There,

Right now yes it says under the iPhone Bluetooth settings it is connected and I can change watch faces and such but going into the Fitness + App and selecting a workout it is telling me "Apple Warch Unavailable - To show your metrics, your watch needs to be unlocked and have Bluetooth turned on" Which it is currently. Also on the Bluetooth settings in the watch it says it is not connecting to anything and is endlessly searching.

Thanks,

Joe

I've never been able to connect it to Fitness + but using the Watch App seems to work fine. Right now in my Bluetooth settings on the iPhone it says its connected to the watch but on the Apple Watch Bluetooth settings its just searching.
