My Watch stopped connecting to my iPhone. I tried unpairing, but phone said it couldn’t find watch. Then I tried to reset. Now i get the select language screen, then location. When I get to the pairing screen, watch shows the spinning planet thing, but phone tried and then says can’t locate watch. What’s up?

Take care.
This did allow the Watch to reset, but it is still giving me the attached screen when I try to pair. I have reset the watch, restarted my phone and hard rebooted my phone. Still I am getting this message.
Thank you for the response Judy. The only phone it has been paired with is the one I’m trying to pair it with. One day last week, I noticed I wasn’t getting notifications. When I looked at my watch, there was a red rectangle with a line through it on the watch. I tried unpairing and repairing with no luck, so I reset my watch. Still no luck. Then I followed the above instructions and still the same thing. It’s like it just lost its Bluetooth capability…
