I just purchased a new Apple watch series 8 and began to pair it with my iPhone 12. I got past where it is paired and I tell it which wrist I wear the watch on, and it began doing something else that would take a few minutes and then it starts to unpair. It has done this several times, and I'm not sure what to do. I've shut down each and restarted, but still does the same thing.

I am having the same issue with 8 series watch, iPhone 13. I have reset both multiple times. iOS on phone is up to date. Both are fully charged .The watch won’t set up without pairing to a the phone first. The watch has an update, but when I try to initiate it, it stalls unpairs from phone. This is incredibly frustrating
Your spare phone is not up to the task.
That’s Apple’s fault??
Both watch and phone were latest version and I've been trying to pair for three hours. Thanks Apple

Try to reinstall your phone to a older ios than install the ios 17 it helped me
series 9 will not pair to an iOS older than 17
Did you find a solution please?
Cannot pair my new Apple Watch, keeps unpairing when setting up
Works profile may need the company IT department to completely clear it
Was this ever solved with a solution that actually works?
Apple Watch keeps unpairing during initial set up
