How To Pair your Existing Apple Watch To Your New Iphone.

[@pramodm1813]

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

[@LaRoseDetails]

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😂

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!!!!

[@NOLYNANCE]

I agree, you are the best! I tried following instructions on several other videos, not to mention written instructions provided by Apple support, all to no avail. I was almost ready to give up in frustration but saw your video and thought ”0ne more video before I call it a night.” As Tracy noted in her comment, within 15 minutes I was able to pair my iPhone 15 with my old Apple Watch series 3 successfully. I really appreciate your very clear straightforward user-friendly instructions. thank you.🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@scholesiefirsttime]

Is there a way to pair to a new iPhone without resetting the watch and losing all your activity data and settings? I’m thinking of getting a series 7 or 8, pairing to my iPhone 12 Pro this week…..before I get an iPhone 14 Pro Max next month. Thinking I might just wait to pair both new devices at the same time.

[@parchitech4570]

Yes. Just place the phone next to the new watch on the first boot up of the new watch and will ask you if you want to pair the new watch and transfer data from the old watch

[@scholesiefirsttime]

@@parchitech4570 Thank you, but it’s the other way round, old phone, not old watch! If I get the watch and pair it to my old phone, when I get a new phone will it allow me to transfer the data to the new phone?

[@scholesiefirsttime]

@@parchitech4570 Reason I ask is that I tried doing this with an old garmin/garmin app & it didn’t work & I lost everything. ☹️

[@kingspartacus2407]

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.

[@ecc77sd]

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! ❤❤❤

[@parchitech4570]

You’re welcome. Glad the video helped you out

[@bnwing]

That’s the exact process that I was about to do! I just bought a 13 Pro Max & couldn’t get my series 3 iWatch to connect either. So glad I looked this up & found this video. What a time & trouble saver.

[@mccrimmonrobert]

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

[@parchitech4570]

Thank you for watching

[@shelleyelytownsend2728]

I saw on other video that you can go to phone app for watch click on thevi gor your watch choose unpaired, then put next to new phone and go through normal set up, except you have option of choosing most recent app update ios version then it transfers all past info and watch stays on current version. If you factory reset and watch updates are no longer available, you can't get them, right? This can take up to an hour if you have a lot of data and apps on your watch. Or so other video said. Not sure if you explained to update watch to cloud b4 factory reset? I'll have to rewatch your video and compare options. Concerned only if watch no longer supported. Hmmm Thoughts?

[@parchitech4570]

No. As long as your watch is backed up, you can factory reset it and restore it. It won’t take an hour either. 15 minutes tops.

[@kimbarker5166]

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.

[@henrytep3398]

My series3 watch requires an update, can I still reset and pair with my iPhone 13 before the update on the watch?

[@parchitech4570]

Yes, you can, It will update after it’s paired with the phone.
