Yesterday I received my new Apple Watch (series 9?) but I cannot get it to pair with my iphone 14.

I have done what I was instructed to do but no success in pairing.

iPhone 14, iOS 16

Why won't my Apple Watch SE pair with my new iPhone? I’ve just recently changed my phone from 11 to 16 pro max and I am having issues pairing my Apple Watch SE. The original transfer and pairing was unsuccessful hence I removed and tried to re-pair. However it was unable to detect it. I had also removed it from my old phone but it still doesn’t detect it for pairing. Kindly assist. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Pairing Apple Watch Series 8 with a new iPhone 17 Pro I replaced my iPhone 14 Pro Max with a 17 Pro. I regularly disconnected my Apple Watch Series 8 from the first device, but I can't pair it with the new one. I followed all the possible procedures in the manual, but nothing works. How can I fix it? [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Apple Watch pairing issues

If your phone is running iOS 16 as indicated, you will need to update it to iOS 17 before pairing with the new watch.
