Apple Watch Stuck in Pairing Mode

I was in the process of pairing my new phone with my watch. My watch got stuck in pairing mode, and pressing and holding the crown does nothing. What do I do now?

Hello familydragonmcd,


We're glad you were directed here from the related article: If you can't pair an Apple Watch with your iPhone


It sounds as though you've walked through the steps outlined in the related article, but unable to get the option for Reset to appear on the display. If you've completed those steps with no success, you'll want to reach out to Apple next for additional support. You can find their contact options via the link below.

Take care!
