Therefore, you need to check and correct the following settings. Airplane Mode Disable Airplane Mode on both iPhone and Apple Watch for seamless pairing. If any device has left with an enabled Airplane Mode, it will disconnect all the frequencies, including NFC, Wireless, and Bluetooth. As a consequence, it will be impossible to pair the Apple Watch. Bluetooth The Bluetooth of your iPhone must be enabled so it can make a connection with the Apple Watch. Therefore, go to the Access Control Centre and make sure the Bluetooth button is turned on. Note: You can check whether or not your Apple Watch is connected by accessing the control center. If the iPhone icon is turned “green,” it means the watch is connected. If the icon appears “red”, no iPhone is connected. 2. Force Restart Your Apple Watch and iPhone If the above ways don’t work, try to force restart your devices.
