After Upgrading my iPhone 5s to 8.4 I've noticed many issue with the apple watch such as:

-freezing the Apple Watch app on Iphone

-delays with notification on the watch or no noticifations

-No sync between watch and phone

tried to unpair, reset watch, reset iphone, tried to connect again without success.

Long delays while connecting and finally with a error massage" Paring Failed"

After all I am no more able to use my lovely apple watch -.-

Does someone know how to fix this issue? 😁😁😁

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.4, Apple Watch on IOS 1.0.1

Hi Patrice

Have you tried to force restart (different than just restarting) both your iPhone and Apple Watch?

Force restart Apple Watch: press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

Force restart iPhone: press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home button for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

Then try pairing again, ensuring that:

- Your iPhone has Bluetooth turned on (Settings > Bluetooth)

- Your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi or a cellular network

- Your Apple Watch is turned on

- Both devices are charged and you keep them close together as you sync them

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you very much for your quick replay,

I've tried as you have described it: Reset Both devices, turn off and on WIFI and Bluetooth after a while, tried to pair again, still the same error.

Have you also tried to pair your Apple Watch and iPhone manually?

Put on Apple Watch, choose a language, tap on "Start Pairing" on both devices, then follow these steps:

Tap "Pair Apple Watch Manually" on your iPhone.
Tap the info icon (a large letter i) on your Apple Watch. Your device's name should show up on the watch face.
On your iPhone, tap the device name matching that shown on your Apple Watch display.
A six-digit code will appear on your Apple Watch. Enter that code on your iPhone to pair the two devices.
Then continue the normal set up steps (but choosing to restore from the Apple Watch backup on your iPhone when given the option).
