Just bought a Series 7 iWatch and I have a iPhone Pro with iOS14.8.1 - It just wont pair!

I just bought a Series 7 iWatch, and I have an iPhone Pro with iOS14.8.1 - It just won't pair. I have reset network settings, reset iwatch, updated iOS to the latest version.. tried a few times. This is the first time Apple devices are giving some real problems. Not good for Apple reputation and price point!!


Can someone provide a solution??

iPhone 11 Pro

Dear Gmuthalaly,


The Apple Watch requires iOS 15 in order to be pair to an iPhone. Go to General > Software Update and on the bottom of the screen it should say iOS 15. After you've updated to iOS 15 you should be able to pair your new Apple Watch Series 7 to your iPhone 11 Pro with iOS 15.


Hope it helps :)
