I disconnected my apple watch (AW) from my old phone, tried to connect it to my new one and it needs to be updated first. Tried reconnecting with my old phone, and my husband's, and it wont connect. Also tried updating from the AW but it prompts me to agree to the terms on my phone, which I can no longer connect to.
iPhone 6, iOS 11
I was having this exact issue all day! While transferring my data from an old iPhone to the new iPhone 15 Pro, my watch "froze" in the process of transferring, and thereafter wouldn't connect to my new phone. I repeatedly tried to connect as both a new and existing watch but was never successful. By this point, I'd already wiped and turned off my old phone, so my top priority was to not have to turn it back on and confirm my watch data was off of it. Without going back into my old phone, the solution that worked for me was:
Success!
THANK YOU!!!! I was about to toss both the phone and the watch out the window!!!
Thank you!! It worked exactly as you laid out!!
Cheers Shen! Your fix worked for me. Thank you!
Thank you. Worked for me! Apple 6 / iPhone 15+
This worked perfectly for my Series 4 Watch / iPhone 15 Pro Max, thank you!
Thanks for that--worked perfectly!
I have 15 with a series 3. It didn’t want to connect, but you have to reset the watch if I’m not mistaken. I eventually got it connected. Search it on YouTube.
Apple Watch will not connect to iPhone 15
