Q: Watch will no longer pair

I just upgraded to Watch OS 3.0 and after I did I stopped getting notifications from any apps.

 

I also noticed that my watch was always connected via WiFi.

 

I unpaired it and now it will not re-pair. Anyone else encounter this? Any ideas?

 

Thanks all.

    Hi

     

    If your watch was not successfully unpaired from your iPhone, you will need to erase it before being able to re-pair it:

     

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

     

    You should then be able to re-pair it via the standard set up process (choose the option to Restore from Backup, if it is offered during set up):
