Apple Watch Series 2, Other OS, iPhone 7 iOS 11.3
so this was happening to me, what I did which seemed to work was:
turn off find my iphone on the phone and then restarted the apple watch.
attempted to pair it again and it worked!!!!!
Not sure if doing this really did the trick or just had some good luck but its working now.
Hope you guys find a solution too, take care!
I had the same pairing error. I ended up deleting the watch app on my phone, restarted phone & re-added watch app. And then it finally paired. Hope this works for you.
If you can't set up your Apple Watch or you get an error message
- Make sure that your iPhone has the latest version of iOS.
- Turn off your iPhone and turn it back on.
- Turn off your Apple Watch and turn it back on.
I tried everything I could, lots of options and combinations.
Yes, I bought them on eBay as well as another one Nike Sport Edition.
At the moment I have two identical watches with the same problem. Both need to be updated in the process of creating the pair and both produce an Activation error. As it turned out later, one iCloud locked and another iCloud OFF. I think could the sellers not properly break the pair or remove them from their iCloud account? And what can I do if this really true?
dear michael
i also have the problem before my watch was connected to iphone 7 plus now i purchased iphone x when i tried to connect to the new phone i needed to unpair from the old, so now neither it connects the new one nor the old one, the watch is useless 😕 😕 😕 😕. i tried to restart watch , restart phones, tried to activate from the old backup all useless.
please ping me if you find any solution.
I have exactly the same problem. I’ve a Apple Watch 2 and didn’t use for long time. When I take it out and pair with my new iPhone, it always said system version too low. When I ipgrade it, the activation error.
The stupid suggestions ask me to reset it. How could I don’t know reset?
I go to apple store Genius Bar and they ask me to pay 250 USD to get repair.
I want to sue apple!!
Apple “stolen” my Apple Watch via a system upgrade.
I have the right to use my Apple Watch to watch time what ever it is out of warranty or not!!!
I’m angry about this stupid problem. It is cuased by the ridiculous system upgrading policy!!!
Do you see activation error before? Actually this tip is discussing the activation error during the pairing. It is different from the pairing issue that you said.
I will try your method any way. Thanks.
