My Apple Watch series 3 is not pairing with my new iPhone 14 pro. I have tried several times. The watch has been reset and attempts to update but never completes the update.


My wife has a series 7 watch and it worked with no problem with the new iPhone 14 pro.


any assistance would be great.

Thanks for the advice Gena_D, but this is not the case, the Apple Watch is completely blank, I even tried to factory reset it several times, nothing we can do. When the phone is near the watch, the phone prompts to setup the watch, then the iPhone scan the fancy watch face and setup started. Then the phone check for the watch update, and said you are no connected to the internet. I keep retry and nothing happened. Everything stop here

Hello PN8Baker,


Let's start off by checking the helpful steps in this article which can help with this issue: If your Apple Watch isn't connected or paired with your iPhone - Apple Support. Follow this guidance:


"Check your Apple Watch connection

If you don't get notifications, messages, or calls on your Apple Watch, your Apple Watch and iPhone might not be connected. When your devices disconnect, the red iPhone icon  or the red X icon  appears on your watch face. You can also check your connection in Control Center. When your Apple Watch connects again, the green iPhone icon  appears.

First, bring your Apple Watch and paired iPhone close together. If you still see that the devices are disconnected and need help, try the steps below. After each step, see if your devices can connect.


Try to connect your Apple Watch and iPhone again

      1. Keep your Apple Watch and paired iPhone close together to make sure that they're in range.
      2. On your iPhone, make sure that Airplane Mode is off and that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are on. To check, open Control Center
      3. If you see the Airplane Mode icon on your watch face, Airplane Mode is on. Open Control Center, then turn off Airplane Mode. 
      4. Restart your Apple Watch and iPhone.


Unpair your devices, then pair them again

If your Apple Watch still can't connect, unpair it from your iPhone, then pair your Apple Watch and iPhone again."
