And what if the new iPhone that you just bought and your old Apple Watch simply refuse to recognize that each other exists? Surely I DO NOT have to reset this new phone that I just got set up, right?
This video on setting up the Apple Watch For the First Time was informative and great.
My Apple Watch is pairing but when it pairs it says update your watch but when I update it says 10 days remaining it does not update pls fix this 😢

It worked
My new Iphone 14 plus is not pairing with my iwatch. Not sure if it is b/c of being in NYC hotel, but this sucks. Wasted 1 hour even looking at the other u tube videos. If this does not pair by last day of 2022, I'll buy a new phone and new watch from a different vendor (open to suggestions).
