My wife's iPhone stopped pairing with her iWatch one month ago and still cannot get it to pair. It appears to me the Watch App on her iPhone is not functioning as everything stays gray and cannot select any item. Frustrating as it was working good. She is using the latest software updates for her computer and iPhone.
Apple Watch Sport 42mm, iOS 8.4
Hi
Try a force restart on both devices:
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.
Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Force restart iPhone: press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home button for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Failing that, unpair and re-pair your devices, restoring your Apple Watch from the iPhone backup when offered the option.
Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support
Set up your Apple Watch - Apple Support
To clarify the terminology, in case you need further help: once "paired", an iPhone and Apple Watch remain paired until they are manually unpaired. However, they can frequently become "disconnected" and automatically reconnected (via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi).
Jonathan - thank you! these instructions have worked; never thought to turn off the phone also!
