Pair iPhone with Apple Watch

Thanks for getting back to us Korjack,

watchOS 7 requires an iPhone 6s or newer running iOS 14 or later. If your iPhone X has iOS 16 and your Apple Watch has watchOS 7, you should be able to pair them.

If you are having an issue getting the watch set up, please review the pairing troubleshooting found in If you can't pair an Apple Watch with your iPhone - Apple Support.

Should you continue to have an issue after that, contacting Apple Support directly is our next suggestion. They'll have the tools and resources needed to further investigate. You can do that here: Get Support

Have a great weekend.

Hello Korjack,

For difficulties with pairing your Apple Watch, you'll want to take the steps below:

1. Make sure that your iPhone has the latest version of iOS.

2. Turn off your iPhone and turn it back on.

3. Turn off your Apple Watch and turn it back on. 

You can also find those steps in the last section of this resource: Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Should you still be unable to pair your Apple Watch, do you get a particular error or prompt during that process?

Let us know, and we'll keep moving forward based on that information.

Hey there Korjack,

If you have followed all the steps from under the section labeled "Need more help with updating?" from this page: Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support, you'll want to contact Apple Support directly for further assistance. You can reach out to them by clicking here: Get Support or over the phone by calling the number that is most local to your region: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support.
