Hi


Check that you are following all of the instructions here and contact Apple Support via the link in the article for assistance if necessary:

Keep in mind that, when pairing Apple Watch, the process may include downloading and installing the latest version of watchOS, which itself can take from several minutes to an hour or so to complete.
