Hi

 

If you unpaired your watch from your iPhone (via the Watch app), but your watch was not connected via Bluetooth at the time, then you will need to erase your watch before you can pair it again. To prepare it for re-pairing:

 

- On your watch, go to the Home screen (via a single press on the Digital Crown) > Settings (cog icon) > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings.

 

Then re-pair and set your watch up again via the standard process. Choose to Restore from Backup if offered the option during set up:
