If you are in a rush, I have summary of steps from the video below 1. Go to settings on the watch 2. Reset the watch - choose “Erase all content” 3. After watch reboots, pair it with your new phone Good video by the way OP

This was very helpful. I got the 13 pro max and couldn't connect my watch. It is connected now, thank you!!

It’s funny how simple that was to pair my old watch to my iPhone and Apple just makes you sit there without giving you any actual instructions besides press and hold the side button. Thanks man. Apple should be ashamed that we had to learn this from u😂

genuinely helped me so much. I wasn’t able to use my Apple Watch for MONTHS because I couldn’t figure out how to connect it. This video helped me out so much. Thank you

You are the best!!!! Been trying for 4 hrs to get the 2 to connect to no avail and then i found your video and 15 mins later i did it. THANK YOU!!!!

I've been trying for the last hour or so to connect my son's non-cellular apple watch to his new iPhone 12pro and for the life of me I couldn't work it out. Thanks to your video I had it sorted in seconds of watching this video!! thank you so much!

This video was a life saver. I have gone for 2 weeks not being able to pair my watch with my new phone!!! Excellent information. Took only minutes! Thank you, thank you!!!

This video was INCREDIBLE!!!! I was panicking because I couldn’t connect my watch to my new phone, I’m so thankful that I came across this video and I got to connect my watch to my phone with no issue at all!!! The step to step guide is FAB

Thank you so much! I followed your instructions and I was able to pair my apple watch series 3 with my new apple pro. You rock!

I’ve been having issues and struggling for no reason. I wish I would have seen this video the first day I upgraded to the 13 pro. Very helpful video.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I just got the iPhone 13 and it would not pair up. Your tutorial made it very simple with the step by step instructions, even for someone like me who has a tough time with new technology. Thank you again. It was much appreciated.

Hands down. One of the most direct videos ever. Great job mate!

I have been struggling all day to figure it out. Thank you! So glad I came to KZfaq.

Thank you so much for showing us how to do it, I was struggling trying to figure it out. Humanity at its best

This was the video I needed. I just bought the iPhone 13 Pro and couldn’t pair it with my existing Apple watch. Thanks a lot!

This video was great. I got the iPhone 13 mini and couldn’t get my watch to pair. Following the easy steps in the video got my watch paired. Thanks so much.

Very nicely shown, no extra information to the point. Helped me lot setting up my watch to the new phone. Thank you for the video

THIS IS THE MOST HELPFUL VIDEO!!!! Sincerely, I don't know what I would have done if I didn't randomly stumble across it. Thank you SO MUCH for uploading this! You're amazing!

It was very simple and easy yesterday only I bought 14 pro 😅 I was not able to setup my watch but after seeing your video was very easy and quick thank you ❤ love from Kuwait

Awesome, worked like a charm, Apple employee couldn’t even do it right. Thank you!

This is really helpful as I was helping to set it for my dad. He sold his old iPhone away. So, I had to start somewhere. Thank you so much! Take care!

I’ve been trying to sync my watch to my new phone for weeks. Just came across this video and voila!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!

Excellent video. I was able to pair my existing Apple watch by watching your video. Had my upgraded phone for 4 days and couldn’t do it on my own. Thank you ❤️

Thank you for your video!!! 🙏🏽 I wasted so much time of my day reading Apple & other instructions/tips online. And nothing worked! Watched your video and got it done within less than 10 minutes!!! Wish I would’ve come here first!! I would’ve saved myself and family from all the stress! New subscriber for sure!!! Clear and easy to follow step by step instructions. Thank you!!!

You’re a life saver! Thought I was gonna have to go to T mobile to get this fixed! 🙌🏻

Thank you so much buddy , just got my 13 max , you save me a lot of time .

I don’t have the erase and keep plan does this effect some how?

Of the countless videos I came across, yours hit the nail on the head with no issues! Thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to explain how this works!😊

You are a ROCKSTAR! Saved my evening setting up what we otherwise deemed were obsolete iWatches! As per usual Apple support forums of little help. In KZfaq I trust! Thank you!

This worked for me. I started to reset my watch at first but was worried it’ll delete my iPhone too. Thank you!

Just done it now, thank you for the video! Very useful and isn’t 20 minutes like every other video

Thanks! Wasn’t sure about the reset settings so thanks!

straight and to the point, thank you!

I cannot thank you enough! I had actually unpaired my cellular Apple Watch from my old phone then paired it to my new phone. Except there was no option to restore it from a backup 🙄. So I had to set it up as a new watch, which wasn’t what I wanted at all. Then I decided to unpair it from my new phone, pair it back to the old phone and restore it from the backup. Which would at least allow me to use it as before as an “independent cellular Apple Watch”. That was about 10 days ago. I finally decided to look for a solution and now you’re my new hero! ❤❤❤

Thanks for this video. I was frustrated and you made it easy. My watch and new phone are happily paired 👍🏽🙌🏽👏🏽!

Thank You! This video helped me so much. I just bought the 13 Pro and had no idea how to pair my Apple watch. Your step-by-step instructions were well presented and easy to follow. 👍👍👍

Definitely helped me out a lot. I’ve been trying for over a day and was wondering what was happening. Thought my Apple Watch 6 was not compatible with my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Also good to find my fellow 🇯🇲. I clicked the follow icon to get more content. Thanks for the help!

Thank you so very much! Just received the iPhone 14 and was having difficulty. Glad you made this video!

oh my gosh this video helped me so so so much!! thank you!!!! here i was thinking i was never going to be able to use my watch ever again after getting a new phone, i've been without my watch since February, today i had enough and sure enough i found this video and i got it back working again, i'm so grateful

Thank you so much for the help! Many blessings to you and your family, my man!

It is very helpful. I was able to connect my watch with new phone.

Does it delete the photos and apps on the watch? Also does this work if the watch has cellular but the phone doesn’t?

Awesome tutorial. Instruction is very clear. Thank you so much.

Much Appreciated!!! Definitely will be my go to video if others need help!👍🏼

Thank you for your clear and precise video, you've made it very easy to follow all the way thru flawlessly! Job well done.

Thank you for the guide, it was practically a live saver!

Does it remove everything from the old phone

Very helpful video. Everything step by step. I got it.Thank you

This helped a lot!! Thank you!!

I thought I did this when I got my new phone but maybe I missed a step because I kept getting the out of range icon on my watch even while holding my phone. Thank you for this tutorial.

hello , thanks for your video, I have a problem with my used apple watch that Bluetooth is not even showing in my watch.. how I can fix that and airplane mode as well ? thank you again

I can’t even imagine how fast these things will be in 5 years time 🤷🏻‍♂️

This was extremely helpful! Thanks

Thanks for posting… Was going crazy trying to pair my existing watch to the new phone. You saved me 😅

I like how apple support doesn’t go into hand me downs. Thanks for the help!

That was super helpful! Thank you!

This was the most helpful video I had to pair my watch with my new iPhone 14 Pro Max! It did exactly what you said & I avoided a trip to the Apple Store 😊 Thanks for your help‼️

Super instructions. Used them to connect existing watch to new iPhone 15 Pro. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much this video is very helpful I had my watch connected to my phone but I disconnected it and I didn’t know how to connect it back to my phone

The fact that you have to erase all content settings is just one of many reasons why I don't choose Apple products!

I hate having to reset my watch and date ugh apple is so annoying

Thank you so much for your video, it saved me $30+ dollars. That’s what Verizon was going to charge I looked for a video, your caption related to what I needed and it worked! Thank you

This was amazing! I just got the 14 plus and I have the Apple Watch SE as well and I could not figure out how to pair it!

worked like a charm. Thank you!

When I hit reset it only says “Erase All content and setting” and “Reset Home Screen layout”

Short & to the point!!! Awesome!

does this keep the watch faces and apps

Super simple and helpful. 10 out of 10

You don’t now how much this video helped me, can’t thank you more❤️

Hi please help me. I cannot connect my iwatc series 3 to my iphone X. It says the iwatch needs watch OS update. How is that? Thanks

Can I connect Apple watch 1 series with iphone 13pro?

This video was so helpful! Thanks for the simple step by steps!

Thank you this was helpful to me. I had to go in to do it manually to get my watch connected. Thank you for showing me how to get started.😊

I usually cringe at having to reset anything because usually it takes an over night reset! This video was awesome. Ty

I fiddled with my watch, flipping back and forth through the manual for two days and nothing !! Less than 5 minutes into your video and I’ve hacked the system ! 😂 thank you, it was so simple ! 🤦‍♀️

mine requires the old apple id that has been disabled is there any way i could fix this

Thank you for this video. I just got my new iPhone 14 and I was soo worried why my Apple Watch is not pairing my new phone. Very important step is to reset your Apple Watch that really helps me to pair it with my new phone. You just made my day

i didn’t even realize my problem was that it was still connected to my old phone until i found your video, thank you lol 💗💗

Thank you this was helpful. My watch was connected to my iPhone 13 and I just got a iPhone 15 pro max titanium and to switch it over. Your video made it very easy.

After a couple of years is the water “proofing” still good to use or is it a no go

Hey, just one question! Is there any way to see if iCloud has a backup of my watch?

Do i pair my both iphones to one apple watch?

ThankU so much! Totally helpful your video! New phone, old watch and both are connected now.👍🏽

Thank you so much, even Apple Support website couldnt help me with a normal fix. Kinda weird tho for some Eco system of Apple.

Thank you so much! I just left the Apple Store with the iPhone 14 pro and was having such a hard time setting it up to my watch. You’re video was the best one out there thanks
