Apple Watch Series 3
I cannot use/pair my apple watch series 3 with my new Iphone 15 Pro max.
I tried to pair my series 3 watch with my new Iphone 15 pro max with IOS 17.1.1
It started pairing and prompted to do software update. When I click update, it always fails. Can someone help me in this issue?

I’m having the exact same problem. I am trying to connect a series 3 watch that has not been connected to my phone yet. Every time I try to connect it, I update the watch and it says I’m not connected to internet when I am. My phone is up to date. Please help.
That is strange, I just purchased an iPhone 15 Pro Max yesterday for my wife and her Apple Watch Series 3 paired up perfectly fine. We didn’t have any issues whatsoever getting them set up together.
Unfortunately, it looks like any apple watch that no longer is supported with os updates (series 3 and older) cannot be newly paired to an iphone (whether on older software or not). The watch will continuously ask for an update it cannot take.
I tried to pair my mom’s series 3 with her new phone a few months back and nothing worked (wiping memory, restarting, trying it with a different phone, etc.). When I took it in to the apple store, they laughed at me ‘cause it was “so old”.
If your watch is already paired with the phone prior to doing an ios update (phone software, not the watch’s), it should still be fine. Mine has worked this way for a while.
Pretty much: try not to do a memory wipe or switch out your devices. If it’s paired, leave it be. That’s the only way you can keep it. 🤷♀️
I have a new iPhone 15 and can’t get it to pair to my apple watch version 3
I just got my wife the brand new iPhone 15 Pro Max yesterday and her old Apple Watch series 3 works perfectly with it, we had no issues at all, setting it up.
Hi team, I had the same issue today, but fixed it by "erase my apple watch" (on the watch) then "restart the watch" you gonna see the cloud on the watch just like the first time you turned it on, and last step is to pair it from our phone. It takes a while to reset everything but finally works on my end!
Watch: series 3, wifi only
Phone: Iphone 14
System: ios 17.4
I use my iWatch 3 with an iPhone SE 2020 and Ios17.1.1 and it still works fine
Did you reset your apple watch and repaired or just paired your watch with new iPhone ?
I can still pair it to my iPhone 11 but not my iPhone 12 pro
I only paired the watch, I think the settings are in the iCloud, i transfered the hole iPhone Backup to the new phone
how do you update your Apple Watch
According to the documentation, yes.
Thank you, i tried it, it works great :-)
Did any of y’all figure this out I have the exact same problem and Apple support didn’t help at all.
