Hi randika96,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. It sounds like your Apple Watch is not paired or will not pair with your iPhone and also needs an update. Right? What happens when you try to pair it with your iPhone? If it stalls in the process or is unable to connect, the guidance from If you can't pair an Apple Watch with your iPhone - Apple Support should help. The section below will be helpful if the process stalls, for example.


"Reset Apple Watch if the pairing process stalls

If it seems like the pairing process has stalled — for example, the pairing animation remains on the screen for several minutes — resetting your Apple Watch might help:

  1. Press and hold the Digital Crown while your Apple Watch is in pairing mode.
  2. Tap Reset when it appears on your watch.
  3. After your watch resets, you can pair again."


If that doesn't resolve the issue, maybe updating from your Apple Watch itself will help. The following is from Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support.


"Update directly on your Apple Watch

If your Apple Watch has watchOS 6 or later, you can install updates without your iPhone:

  1. Make sure that your watch is connected to Wi-Fi.
  2. On your watch, open the Settings app.
  3. Tap General > Software Update.
  4. Tap Install if a software update is available, then follow the onscreen instructions."


Take care.
