Hello Abethwigger,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 


We understand that you are unable to pair your Apple Watch with your iPhone. We are happy to help.


These steps may help. Please try the steps here: If your Apple Watch isn't connected or paired with your iPhone - Apple Support

"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."
