Apple Watch unpairs from iPhone

Is anyone else having issues with their Apple Watch unpairing/not finding their iPhone almost on a daily basis? I have to reset my Apple Watch each time to re-pair with my iPhone.

Does "unpairing" mean, that it loses the Bluetooth connection to the iPhone and is still connected to Wi-Fi?

Or is the watch somehow removed from the list in the WatchApp on your iPhone and completely unpaired?


Did you try to set the watch up as a new device, without using the latest backup, in case the backup data is contains this issue?

Since the iPhone 17 Series has just been released, it could also be an iOS problem.
