- Ensure that your Apple Watch has access to Wi-Fi:
- Check that your Apple Watch is connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth and that your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi.
- Or, if your iPhone is not currently connected via Bluetooth, check that your watch has connected to a trusted Wi-Fi network as a fallback.

- Place your Apple Watch on the charger, connected to power.
