Apple Watch pairing

I

iMore Question

Ive no doubt this has been answered somwhere but here we go again, I have had an Iwatch for about 2 months, did the latest update and it wouldnt take, so I reset both phone and watch and now it wont pair. Tried force reset, cleared out phone (8S), now all it lets me do is attempt to pair, then says briefly on the phone that it is paired, then a box comes up saying 'pairing failed', what do I do next....

When you reset both products, did you restore from a backup? If so, reset again and then set them up as new.

Prior to resetting again, select the “reset network settings” option via your iPhone settings.
