The same problem shows on my Apple Watch. Turning off the Apple Watch and restarting it makes the pairing with BeatsX succeed until paired again with iPhone or Mac. When paired once with another device than the Apple Watch the problem is back.
And of course the BeatsX are turned on and in range, should anyone wonder.
Hello Blakey1741. I've just updated to watchOS 3.2.2 and that seems to have helped.
Switching the BeatsX between MacBook Pro, iPhone 6s and Apple Watch Series 2 now works as it should for the first time since I got the watch last December.
Try updating and see how it works for you.
I have been trying for weeks to pair my apple watch2 to several different bluetooth speakers and a bluetooth earbud. I tried most of the suggestions listed hear and elsewhere. I always got a message indicating I should either move the bluetooth speaker or earbuds closer to the apple watch or make sure it was turned on in discoverable mode.
I finally found an answer:
Without deleting anything, un-pairing anything or doing any of the many other suggestions.
I put my apple watch in airplane mode by swiping up on the apple watch screen and selecting the airplane icon.
I then started the bluetooth device in discoverable mode, then on the apple watch went to setttings>bluetooth and turned on the bluetooth.
When the bluetooth device appeared on the apple phone bluetooth screen I selected it and voila it paired.
I then took the apple watch off airplane mode. It then paired w/o putting the apple watch in airplane mode..
This method worked with all of my bluetooth devices.
I hope this helps others..
It is obviously a software problem as it does work after restarting the Apple Watch. We'll have to hope for Apple to think of it as worthy enough to fix. By talking about it in the community here it might raise awareness a little.
All we can do is wait and see if a future watchOS update fixes it.
Brilliant- just tried it and it worked first time.
I've been to the Apple Store and had numerous calls to Apple and no one had been able solve the issue, so thanks very much for finding an answer and sharing it.
I know of a few people who are having the same problem, although Apple said that they had not heard of such an issue with the watch pairing, so I will pass this fix on.
Thanks again
None of this helped for me!
It's a travesty, I purchased the expensive beats x especially for the promise of flawless pairing brought the W1 chip, because exactly these issues were a major annoyance with my cheap 20€ Bluetooth earbuds I had before. And nothing has changed.. maybe Watch os 4 will help..
Have contacted Apple who said they would call back but that was a week ago..!
