I can’t unpair my watch from my old phone or pair with new phone. I’ve tried EVERYTHING!

I’ve tried everything to unpair my watch from my XR and re pair with my new 15 and it will not work.

Wondering which Watch model you have, and which Watch OS version is installed.

Also, whether the iPhone 15 has been upgraded to the latest iOS 17 version:


Eg: Seems watchOS 10 (or the 10.1 update) requires iPhone XS, iPhone XR or later with iOS 17

and one of the following Apple Watch models:

Apple Watch Series 4 or higher

Apple Watch SE

Apple Watch Ultra

Not all features are available on all devices

If Watch OS and iPhone iOS are compatible:

All the best :-)
