Yes, I have tried all the solutions and double checked all setting. This is my 5th Iwatch so I am pretty familiar with the process and synced my sons up today with no problems. My new Iwatch pairs with my phone but during the sync phase, it disconnects from phone and says it cannot connect to phone. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are on. No issues setting up the other Iwatch i purchased today.

Ok that can happen where one device misbehaves. You probably need to restart your iPhone and you can do this while resetting network settings. See if that helps. Do this:

In Settings > General > Transfer or Reset > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Make sure to Join wifi again after it restarts
