Cannot pair apple watch iphone 14 pro max

Cobreezy,

Thanks for posting here in Apple Support Communities. What happens when you attempt to pair your Apple Watch to your iPhone? Do you get an error message?

Check out the troubleshooting steps in the article If you can't pair an Apple Watch with your iPhone - Apple Support

"Make sure that Apple Watch isn’t already paired

When you set up Apple Watch, your iPhone asks you to hold the watch up to your iPhone camera. If your iPhone says that it's unable to connect to Apple Watch — or if the watch shows a clock face — Apple Watch might already be paired.

If you have its paired iPhone, unpair your Apple Watch

1. Open the Watch app on your iPhone, tap the My Watch tab, then tap All Watches at the top of the screen.
2. Tap the "i" button  next to the watch that you want to unpair, then tap Unpair Apple Watch.
3. Tap again to confirm, then wait for the watch to unpair.
4. After Apple Watch unpairs, you can pair again.

If you don’t know the passcode, reset your Apple Watch

If you can't unpair or erase your Apple Watch because you’ve forgotten its passcode, you can reset the watch.

When you reset Apple Watch instead of unpairing it, the watch is still protected by Activation Lock. Before you can pair Apple Watch again, you'll have to enter the Apple ID and password that was used to set it up.

1. Put Apple Watch on its charger.
2. Press and hold the side button until you see the screen with the power button  in the upper-right corner, then let go of the side button. If your Apple Watch has an earlier version of watchOS, you see the Power Off slider instead of the power button.
3. Press and hold the Digital Crown until you see the red Reset button.
4. Tap Reset, then tap Reset again to confirm.
5. After Apple Watch unpairs completely, you can pair again. Remember that you'll need the Apple ID and password that were used to set up the watch."

Let us know if this works.

Thanks.
