Hi


In order to see the "i" icon on your watch when pairing your devices manually, follow these steps:


  • Wear Apple Watch on your wrist and choose a language (see footnote).
  • Separately on each device, tap on Start Pairing (on your iPhone, do this within the Watch app).
  • Tap Pair Apple Watch Manually on your iPhone.
  • Tap the info icon "i" on your Apple Watch (it will be shown now). Your device's name should be displayed on the watch face.
  • On your iPhone, tap the device name matching that shown on your Apple Watch face.
  • A six-digit code will be displayed on your Apple Watch. Enter that code on your iPhone to pair the two devices.
  • Then follow the remaining steps as prompted to Set Up.


Footnote:


If, before starting this process, you first need to reset your watch:


  • Go to the Home screen on your watch (a single press on the Digital Crown) > Settings (cog icon) > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings.
  • You may then be able to pair your watch via the standard process, using the camera:
