I’ve tried just turning my watch off while trying to pair on my phone and it doesn’t work, they are connected to the same wifi
iPhone 12, iOS 16

Thank you! I finally figured it out after I went back and searched the whole thing again, my watch is working like new!!
You're welcome.
I got a new phone so my watch is paired to my old one and now I can’t pair it to my new phone, I don’t have access to my old phone, how should I go about that?
