My iPhone is paired with my watch but when I try an apple fitness session it says it can’t find my watch , any idea what I should do ? I’ve tried turning Bluetooth on and off on both devices and I’ve tried turning them on and off completely , no joy

Hi there,

Thanks for joining us in Apple Support Communities! We understand you're having difficulty starting a workout with Apple Fitness+ on your iPhone because an alert appears indicating it can't find your Apple Watch. We're glad you're here, and we'd like to learn more to see how we can help.

To begin, you'll want to be sure your Apple Watch and iPhone are both running the most current software versions available, watchOS 8.3 and iOS 15.2.1. You can check the version on both devices by navigating to Settings > General > About. If needed, learn more about updating your Apple Watch and iPhone here:

Next, did you try working through all the steps in the related article linked in blue at the top left corner of this page? If so, what were the results exactly?

Send over these details, and we'll take a closer look from there.

Cheers!
