Will my Apple Watch still work if I jailbreak my iPhone

If I jailbreak my iPhone running iOS 8.3, will my Apple Watch still connect and work as usual?

I had some trouble pairing my Apple Watch sport with my iphone under ios 8.3 with a jailbroken iphone 6 it wouldn't give me the code to manually pair but after updating to ios 8.4 and then jailbreaking and then manually pairing with the watch i had no issues oh and FYI the watch is running watch os 1.1.

I didn't have any problem with my Apple Watch when I was jailbroken. Everything worked great

I'm jailbroken (6+) and the Watch works flawlessly.

It works fine, but occasionally, you'll might a "delete denied" popup which keeps popping up after tapping "okay". I am not sure if its because of the specific jailbreak or if it is a common issue.

I am thinking of buying the Apple Watch but I am concerned that I may run into issues since I have a jailbroken iPhone 6 running iOS 8.4.

I've been jailbroken since it came out. I have no problems at all with my watch that I can think of. I'm on the latest watch os as well.

If you've already updated to watchOS 2 you'll need iOS 9 on your iPhone in order to pair it.
