My Apple Watch and phone are paired, but my watch doesn’t show up in the watch app. When I look at my Apple ID, my phone and watch are listed- but there’s no communication happening. When I try to add an Apple Watch, it cannot find my watch. Please help!
Hi MeMarsh,
It's unclear how your iPhone and Apple Watch are simultaneously paired but not showing the device in the Apple Watch app. If you recently switched your device or completed other changes that could explain what you're seeing.
Erase the Apple Watch using the steps in Unpair and erase your Apple Watch on the watch itself:
4. Tap Erase All to confirm. This resets your Apple Watch to the factory settings.
Now you can set up your Apple Watch again. You'll need the Apple ID and password associated with the watch turn off Activation Lock."
Once erased complete the linked directions to set it up again which should remedy the concerns you're reporting regarding connection.
Regards.

Thank you. It was trying to avoid resetting it, but I ended up just doing that and it paired & synced with no problem.
