JUst purchased an Apple Watch and can not get it to find my Bluetooth headphones. I am able to pair headphones with both iPhone 6 and iPad.
I have tried resetting the watch with hard reboot as well. My headphones are Phiaton BT NC 100, Bluetooth 4.0.
Apple Watch, iOS 9.2
Hi Tim
To pair Bluetooth headphones with your Apple Watch:
- Put your Bluetooth headphones into discovery / pairing mode (follow the instructions provided with the earphones).
- On your Apple Watch, go to the Home screen (single press on the Digital Crown), then tap on Settings (the cog icon) > Bluetooth.
- Your Apple Watch will now search for Bluetooth accessories that are in discovery / pairing mode.
- Choose your Bluetooth headphones when they are shown.
- If asked, enter a passkey or PIN.
You may find that you need to unpair your headphones from your iPhone and iPad (or any other device that they may already be paired with) before you can pair them with your watch. If they are already paired with your iPhone and iPad:
- On your iPhone and iPad go to: Settings > Bluetooth.
- Find the headphones in the list, then tap on Forget this Device.

Thanks Jonathon. I actually tried all this several times. The issue is that the watch does not even see the device/headphones In the list under devices. I tested with another set of headphones and it does show in the list. What's strange is that these headphones are easily discoverable with the iPhone and iPad. Any reason Apple Watch would not be able to discover these Bluetooth 4.0 headphones?
thanks for the help!
