Apple Watch Fitness+ Pairing Cancelled Fixed...at least for me

Folks,

I had the annoying "pairing cancelled" error when attempting to use my Apple Watch (Series 4) with Apple Fitness+ on my Apple TV. I tried most of the suggestions I found online but none of them helped.

I finally solved the issue by:

• unpairing my Apple Watch entirely from my iPhone
• erasing all the settings & contents on the watch
• going through the Apple Watch setup procedure again but NOT restoring it from a previous backup. Instead, I set the watch up as a new Apple Watch.

This solved the problem for me and I hope it helps some other folks.
