I just finished setting up my new phone, and I’m trying to pair my Apple Watch to it. I unpaired the watch from my old phone, and started the pairing process on my new phone. It said it needed to update the software on the watch so I started this, but it seems to be stuck. The watch finished updating and it has me go through the steps to start pairing, while my phone says it’s still installing the update. If I try to cancel the update, it takes me back to a screen that says “please wait” and doesn’t allow me to pair any watch with my new phone. If I hit the “start pairing” button, it says my phone has to have either a WiFi or cellular connection (it has both) and have Bluetooth enabled (which it is) before it’ll start pairing. Any help on how to get this working would be greatly appreciated
