Apple Fitness + won't connect to Apple watch or stuck on confirm on your Apple watch.

Thank you for sharing. I tried it this morning and it didn’t work for me, but glad it worked for you and hopefully others.

To make sure I tried the right thing, I went to Apple TV’s Settings, the option for Home (I don’t have it right in front of me to see exactly what it’s called), changed the room of my device from Basement to Bedroom. Restarted. Went back to settings and changed the location back to Basement. Restarted. Then tried to load Fitness+ but had the same error. Is this roughly the method you described, or maybe I misunderstood? Thanks!

Several attempts to rectify this same issue. Worked with Apple support for a very long time last night to no avail. Apple 4K TV on 15.2 tvOS with Apple Watch Series 4 watchOS 8.3 with iPhone 8 Plus on iOS 15.2.1 Fitness+ has been working fine on Apple TV until recently. Have changed Home room, reset Apple TV (painful experience), turned off all devices, and tried every other posted remedy in this forum. Nothing will work. Unfortunately I am now considering canceling my subscription to fitness+ because of it. I will really miss it. I wish Apple would post publicly about this issue, would make a commitment to fixing it, and reimburse for the paid expense of a costly service that simply doesn’t work. Fingers crossed that one last attempt with an Apple support call-back will yield results. So frustrating. It worked fine for months and then abruptly stopped working without any changes on my end, so I believe strongly that a bug has been introduced into one of the operating systems during an update.

Thanks for sharing. That’s what I did as well about a week or two ago and yes backup your watch first! It fixed my issue but seems to want to come back again, not as long as a delay bit at time its slower, still dont understand why…

A few takeaways from my conversation with Apple Support yesterday…

1) She told me that if you’re having issues, to please call so that support can document the issues and see how widespread it is. They document everything to pass along to the engineers. She is also aware of this thread, but many people will not post or call, so they don’t have an accurate view as to how many this is affecting.

2) I am going to keep an eye on whether the re-pairing worked. We seemed to believe that with the recent iOS update, there may have been a fix. However, I’ve worn an Apple Watch for 6 years and know it’s not perfect.

I am remaining cautiously optimistic and will monitor and update my responses as things happen (or don’t!)

Thanks. I’ll do the updates tonight. Just spend an hour with Apple support, informed them of all the steps i’ve done so far plus whatever was shared here. Sent some diagnostic to them, told them that unpair and repairing every two weeks is not a solution. The (very nice) lady i was talking too will send everything to the engineering team and will get a follow up call tomorrow. She also suggested that everyone who os experiencing this to call them as well, the more that reaches out the more data they have to find a solution to this. Keeping fingers crossed.

Same problem here. Will try to unpair and repair. But AirPlay to my Roku works fine as a workaround (I get the two minute cutout with the AppleTV). No metrics but it means I can do the complete workout with video

I have this problem too, first happened a few weeks ago, eventually un-paired and re-paired my watch which was the only thing that would fix it, then it happened a few weeks later. This evening it’s gone again, I’ve even tried to airplay Fitness+ from iPad to Apple TV and it cut out after 30 seconds or so. Can’t reset my watch every few weeks and can use airplay as a workaround..

Did you notice if this happens after a new feature is added to apple Fitness. I’ve seen once or twice on this thread that it first happened after pilates was added, i first noticed it after collections was added and this week i just gave up after 5 minutes and noticed a new collection was added to the list. I have a call scheduled tonight with support, i’ll bring this up in case it can help isolate the issue.

Fully updated across all devices. Have a series 6 that connects no problem. Have a series 3 that spins forever. Worked briefly after an unpair and full re-sync of series 3. Problem persists.

watchOS 8.4.1 was released today, but it does not fix the issue. Just confirmed it took over a minute to connect to my watch.

Please call support they need these calls in to understand that its not an isolated problem. Looking forward to my call with them again tonight

I do agree, things just don’t stop working for no reason. I was thinking of canceling mine as well until I got lucky and made it work again, now getting 3 sec delay which may of been what it used to be before…

Keep us posted in case issue comes back for us.

Good luck!

I am having the same issue, starting early Jan 2022. Didn’t have this issue at all. Tried every suggested solution here and other posts, no luck. Clicking my name in fitness plus app, keep spinning forever.
