iMore Question

The watch works great with Bluetooth. But will not pair, I can hold the oblong butterfly ne to shut off no slider shows up it just goes back to the watch icon. I have tried holding the push button and the oblong button for more then 10 seconds and still nothing. Help!

1. If you bought an "iwatch", find out who makes it and then contact their support site for assistance.

2. If you purchased a used Watch, how do you know that it "works great with Bluetooth" if you can't get it to pair?

Having said that, connect the Watch to its charging cable. Get your iPhone (it will not pair to any other smartphone), initiate its watch app to begin the pairing process.
