In order to possibly help, we need more information.

  • Which iPhone do you have and what is its iOS? For the Apple Watch 9, you need iPhone XS or later with iOS 17.
  • Also, from whom did you buy that watch? Is it new ... or new to you?
  • What happens when you try to pair the watch to your iPhone.
  • Did you try to follow the instruction in the link below?


Please let us know so we may help you.
