My new Apple Watch isn’t even found on Apple TV to pair. Can’t do anything. Help please.
Make sure you're updated to Watch OS 8.3. There was a bug in the previous version that didn't allow the remote on the watch to connect to the TV.

Until you do that, you can't do what you're trying to do...
When you select the remote app on your watch, do you get any options at all?
Also, is your Apple TV updated to 8.3 as well?
Two things:
With new apple watch I want to use apple fitness service on the app on my apple tv.
I also want to use apple watch as a apple tv remote
The apple tv tutorials I have found always show connecting or pairing using the remote app on apple watch. I go into the app and the apple tv doesn't even show on the screen. On apple tv, doing a connection in reverse, the apple watch doesn't show in the remotes section nor in setting up as bluetooth. It is like both are invisible to the other.
No options, all I get is "add Device + sign" yet when I click on that it gives a code. There is no where to put the code on appletv because the appletv doesn't even pick up a connection and the menu items I have seen on videos online are not even the same. Appletv is likewise updated to the newest OS. I am away from home now, when I get back I am going to try and sign out and sign back in of my apple id since there is a red notification saying I need to sign into my apple id again. I do not know why this happened, there is no real reason. However, when I tried to start pairing watch 1 week ago it was not giving me this new red notification in apple menu to sign into apple id otherwise some services will not work, as pairing the watch still had same problems... so I do not know if this is related or not.
What are you trying to accomplish?
I verified just now that I am fully updated to Watch OS 8.3
I have done it, apple fitness connection between watch and apple tv now works. Remote app does not work still to connect as a appletv remote on the watch.
