Apple Watch^{(Apple Watches)}已成为许多 iPhone 用户不可或缺的可穿戴设备，提供无缝的智能手表体验，包括从接收通知到跟踪健身目标的一切。但有时， Apple Watch^{(Apple Watch)}和新 iPhone之间的配对过程可能不太顺利。

本指南将引导您完成各种故障排除步骤，以帮助您让Apple Watch和新手机协同工作。

注意：如果您尝试将Apple Watch与 iPad、Mac、Android手机或 iPhone 以外的任何手机配对，则无法配对！新款 Apple Watch^{(The new Apple Watch)}和之前的每款手表在很大程度上都是 iPhone 专用的配件。

关于激活锁的注意事项

激活锁^{(Activation Lock)}是 iOS 7 和 watchOS 2 中引入的一项Apple安全功能。它旨在防止任何人未经许可使用您的Apple设备。^(Apple)当您设置设备并使用您的Apple ID^{(Apple ID)}登录时，激活锁^{(Activation Lock)}会自动启用。如果您的设备丢失或被盗，此功能将很难让其他人使用或出售您的设备，因为它需要您的Apple ID和密码才能禁用“查找我的^{(Find My)}iPhone”或将其擦除。

如果您尝试将Apple Watch与新 iPhone 配对并遇到与激活锁^{(Activation Lock)}相关的问题，您应该执行以下操作：

• 如果您仍然可以访问之前与Apple Watch^{(Apple Watch)}配对的 iPhone ，请在取消手表配对之前禁用“查找我的iPhone”。^{(Find My)}为此，请转到旧 iPhone 上的“设置”^(Settings)应用，点击顶部您的名字，然后点击“查找我的”^{(Find My)} > “查找我的^{(Find My)}iPhone”，然后关闭开关。

• 如果您已抹掉Apple Watch或取消配对，并且系统提示您输入初始设置期间使用的Apple ID和密码，请输入所需信息以禁用^{(Apple ID)}激活锁^{(Activation Lock)}。
• 如果您忘记了Apple ID或密码，请访问Apple ID帐户页面 (appleid.apple.com) 以恢复您的帐户信息或重置密码。
• 如果您购买了启用了激活锁^{(Activation Lock)}的二手Apple Watch，请联系之前的所有者并要求他们登录 iCloud.com 或“查找我的^{(Find My)}”应用程序以从其帐户中删除该设备。这将禁用激活锁^{(Activation Lock)}，让您将手表与 iPhone 配对。

如果您仍然遇到激活锁^{(Activation Lock)}问题，请联系Apple 支持^{(Apple Support)}。准备好提供购买证明和其他相关信息以验证您的所有权。

1. 确保您的设备^(Devices) 满足^(Meet)要求

在深入研究更高级的解决方案之前，让我们先介绍一下基础知识。首先，请确保您的 iPhone 和Apple Watch兼容。截至撰写本文时，Apple Watch^{(Apple Watches)}需要运行 iOS 16 或更高版本的 iPhone 8 或更高版本。确保两台设备均已充电并连接至Wi-Fi。

在开始故障排除之前，请关闭 iPhone 和Apple Watch 的^{(Apple Watch)}电源。然后打开 iPhone（按住侧面按钮，直到看到Apple徽标）和Apple Watch（以同样的方式）。

2. 保持 iPhone软件^(Software)更新

过时的软件可能会在配对Apple Watch和新 iPhone 时出现问题。首先^(First)，前往“设置”^(Settings)应用> General > Software Update检查 iPhone 的软件版本。如果有可用更新，请按照屏幕上的说明下载并安装它。

3.解决蓝牙连接问题^{(Bluetooth Connectivity Issues)}

如果您在配对设备时仍然遇到问题，请刷新您的蓝牙^(Bluetooth)连接。首先^(First)，在 iPhone 上启用飞行模式以断开所有^{(Airplane Mode)}蓝牙^(Bluetooth)设备。等待^(Wait)30 秒，然后禁用飞行模式^{(Airplane Mode)}以重新建立蓝牙^(Bluetooth)连接。如果这不起作用，请尝试关闭iPhone 和Apple Watch上的^{(Apple Watch)}蓝牙^(Bluetooth)，然后在几秒钟后重新打开。

4. 取消配对并修复您的设备

有时，解决方案很简单，只需取消Apple Watch与旧 iPhone 的配对，然后将其与新手机重新配对即可。要取消与Apple Watch 的^{(Apple Watch)}配对，请打开Watch应用> My Watch > All Watches，然后轻点屏幕顶部手表旁边的“i”图标。

^{(Tap Unpair Apple Watch)}点击屏幕底部的取消配对 Apple Watch ，然后按照提示操作。

接下来，打开新手机上的手表应用程序并点击^(Watch)开始配对^{(Start Pairing)}。将Apple Watch靠近 iPhone，并将手表表面与 iPhone 屏幕上的取景器对齐。按照屏幕上的说明完成配对过程。

5.如果您没有配对的iPhone^(Paired)， 请抹掉您的Apple Watch

如果您无法访问之前与Apple Watch配对的 iPhone ，则需要抹掉手表上的数据。请注意，擦除手表而不是取消配对仍然可以通过激活锁^{(Activation Lock)}对其进行保护。要抹掉您的Apple Watch，请按照以下步骤操作：

1. 打开手表上的“设置”应用。^(Settings)

1. 选择常规 > 重置。

1. 点击“删除所有内容^{(Tap Erase All Content)}和设置”^(Settings)，然后再次点击进行确认。

1. 等待手表取消配对。

手表被擦除后，您可以再次配对。请记住^(Remember)，您将需要最初用于设置手表的 Apple ID和密码。^{(Apple ID)}

6.如果您不知道^(Know)密码，请重置^(Passcode)Apple Watch

如果您因忘记密码而无法取消配对或抹掉Apple Watch，则需要重置手表。请按照以下步骤重置您的Apple Watch：

1. 将手表放在充电器上。
2. 按住侧面按钮，直到看到右上角带有电源按钮的屏幕。松开侧面按钮。
3. 按住数码表冠^{(Digital Crown)}，直到看到红色的重置^(Reset)按钮。

1. 点击重置^{(Tap Reset)}，然后再次点击重置^(Reset)进行确认。

手表重置后，您可以再次配对。请记住^(Remember)，您将需要最初用于设置手表的 Apple ID和密码。^{(Apple ID)}

7.如果配对过程停止，请重置^{(Pairing Process Stalls)}Apple Watch

如果配对过程似乎停滞（例如，配对动画在屏幕上停留了几分钟），重置Apple Watch可能会有所帮助。要在手表处于配对模式时重置手表，请按照以下步骤操作：

1. 按住数码表冠。
2. ^{(Tap Reset)}当手表上出现 重置时，点击重置。
3. 重置Apple Watch后，您可以将其再次与 iPhone 配对。

8.重置你的iPhone网络设置^{(Network Settings)}

如果到目前为止没有任何效果，重置 iPhone 的网络设置可能是您需要的解决方案。操作方法如下：

1. 打开iPhone 上的“设置”应用。^(Settings)

1. 选择“常规”。
2. 选择传输或重置 iPhone。

1. 选择重置。

1. 选择重置网络设置。

1. 输入密码并选择重置网络设置^{(Reset Network Settings)}以确认重置。
2. 重新尝试将^(Reattempt)Apple Watch与 iPhone 配对。

注意：重置^(Resetting)网络设置会删除保存的 Wi-Fi 密码、VPN配置和蓝牙^(Bluetooth)连接，但不会删除个人数据或应用程序。您必须手动设置以前保存的所有连接。因此，如果您不记得网络设备和服务的所有密码，请在重置网络设置之前确认它们！

未来 无缝配对体验^{(Seamless Pairing Experience)}的技巧

如果这是您第一次将Apple Watch迁移到新 iPhone，然后在Apple Watch配对过程中遇到问题，我们有一些提示，可以帮助您在遇到问题时再次经历所有这些过程。新 iPhone 更容易一些：

• 让您的 iPhone、Apple Watch和相关应用程序保持最新状态。定期检查“设置”^(Settings)应用程序和App Store中的更新。
• 在配对之前，请确保您的设备始终已充电并连接到Wi-Fi 。配对和更新需要良好的电池寿命和稳定的互联网连接。
• 定期将您的 iPhone 和Apple Watch^{(Apple Watch)}备份到 iCloud 或Mac/PC。这样，如果您需要重置设备，您可以快速恢复数据和设置。
• 随时^(Stay)了解Apple设备的兼容性要求。新的软件更新和产品发布可能会影响您将旧款^(New)Apple Watch与新款 iPhone配对的能力，反之亦然。

希望您每隔几年只需处理一次这个问题，但是如果您浪费时间让这两个很棒的小工具一起工作，那么您本可以花时间享受它们。

Apple Watch Not Pairing to New Phone? Try These 8 Fixes

Apple Watches have become an indispensable wearable for many iPhone users, offering a seamless smartwatch experience that includes everything from receiving notifications to tracking fitness goals. But sometimes, the pairing process between an Apple Watch and a new iPhone can be less than smooth.

This guide will take you through various troubleshooting steps to help you get your Apple Watch and new phone working together.

Note: If you’re trying to pair an Apple Watch with an iPad, Mac, Android phone, or anything other than an iPhone—you can’t! The new Apple Watch and every Watch before it is very much an accessory only for iPhones.

A Note on Activation Lock

Activation Lock is an Apple security feature introduced with iOS 7 and watchOS 2. It’s designed to prevent anyone from using your Apple devices without permission. Activation Lock is automatically enabled when you set up your device and sign in with your Apple ID. This feature makes it difficult for someone to use or sell your device if lost or stolen since it requires your Apple ID and password to disable Find My iPhone or erase it.

If you’re trying to pair your Apple Watch with a new iPhone and run into issues related to Activation Lock, here’s what you should do:

• If you still have access to the iPhone previously paired with your Apple Watch, disable Find My iPhone before unpairing your watch. To do this, go to the Settings app on your old iPhone, tap your name at the top, then tap Find My > Find My iPhone, and turn off the switch.

• If you’ve already erased or unpaired your Apple Watch and are prompted for the Apple ID and password used during the initial setup, enter the requested information to disable Activation Lock.
• If you cannot remember your Apple ID or password, visit the Apple ID account page (appleid.apple.com) to recover your account information or reset your password.
• If you’ve purchased a pre-owned Apple Watch with Activation Lock enabled, contact the previous owner and request they sign in to iCloud.com or the Find My app to remove the device from their account. This will disable Activation Lock, letting you pair the watch with your iPhone.

If you’re still experiencing Activation Lock issues, contact Apple Support. Be prepared to provide proof of purchase and other relevant information to verify your ownership.

1. Ensure Your Devices Meet the Requirements

Before diving into more advanced solutions, let’s cover the basics. To start, make sure your iPhone and Apple Watch are compatible. At the time of writing, Apple Watches require an iPhone 8 or later running iOS 16 or later. Ensure both devices are charged and connected to Wi-Fi.

Before starting the troubleshooting, power off your iPhone and Apple Watch. Then turn on the iPhone (hold the side button until you see the Apple logo) and the Apple Watch (the same way).

2. Keep Your iPhone Software Updated

Outdated software can create problems when pairing your Apple Watch and new iPhone. First, check your iPhone’s software version by going to the Settings app > General > Software Update. If there’s an update available, follow the on-screen instructions to download and install it.

3. Resolve Bluetooth Connectivity Issues

If you still have trouble pairing your devices, refresh your Bluetooth connection. First, enable Airplane Mode on your iPhone to disconnect all Bluetooth devices. Wait for 30 seconds, then disable Airplane Mode to re-establish Bluetooth connections. If this doesn’t work, try turning off Bluetooth on your iPhone and Apple Watch, then turning it back on again after a few seconds.

4. Unpair and Repair Your Devices

Sometimes, the solution is as simple as unpairing your Apple Watch from your old iPhone and then re-pair it with your new phone. To unpair your Apple Watch, open the Watch app > My Watch > All Watches, then tap the “i” icon next to your watch at the top of the screen.

Tap Unpair Apple Watch at the bottom of the screen and follow the prompts.

Next, open the Watch app on your new phone and tap Start Pairing. Hold your Apple Watch near your iPhone and align the watch’s face with the viewfinder on the iPhone screen. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the pairing process.

5. Erase Your Apple Watch if You Don’t Have Its Paired iPhone

If you don’t have access to the iPhone previously paired with your Apple Watch, you’ll need to erase the watch. Note that erasing the watch instead of unpairing it still protects it with Activation Lock. To erase your Apple Watch, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app on your watch.

1. Select General > Reset.

1. Tap Erase All Content and Settings, then tap again to confirm.

1. Wait for the watch to unpair.

After the watch has been erased, you can pair it again. Remember, you’ll need the Apple ID and password initially used to set up the watch.

6. Reset Your Apple Watch if You Don’t Know the Passcode

If you can’t unpair or erase your Apple Watch because you’ve forgotten its passcode, you’ll need to reset the watch. Follow these steps to reset your Apple Watch:

1. Place the watch on its charger.
2. Press and hold the side button until you see the screen with the power button in the upper-right corner. Release the side button.
3. Press and hold the Digital Crown until you see the red Reset button.

1. Tap Reset, then tap Reset again to confirm.

Once your watch is reset, you can pair it again. Remember, you’ll need the Apple ID and password initially used to set up the watch.

7. Reset Your Apple Watch if the Pairing Process Stalls

If the pairing process seems to stall (e.g., the pairing animation remains on the screen for several minutes), resetting your Apple Watch might help. To reset your watch while it’s in pairing mode, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the Digital Crown.
2. Tap Reset when it appears on your watch.
3. After resetting your Apple Watch, you can pair it with your iPhone again.

8. Reset Your iPhone Network Settings

If nothing has worked so far, resetting the iPhone’s network settings may be the solution you need. Here’s how to do it:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

1. Choose on General.
2. Select Transfer or Reset iPhone.

1. Choose Reset.

1. Select Reset Network Settings.

1. Confirm the reset by entering your passcode and selecting Reset Network Settings.
2. Reattempt pairing your Apple Watch with your iPhone.

Note: Resetting network settings erases saved Wi-Fi passwords, VPN configurations, and Bluetooth connections but won’t remove personal data or apps. You’ll have to set up all your previously saved connections manually. So if you don’t remember all the passwords for your network devices and services, confirm them before resetting your network settings!

Tips for a Seamless Pairing Experience in the Future

If this was the first time you’ve had to migrate an Apple Watch to a new iPhone and then run into issues with the Apple Watch pairing process, we have some tips to make the inevitable need to go through all of this again when you get a new iPhone a little easier:

• Keep your iPhone, Apple Watch, and associated apps up-to-date. Regularly check for updates in the Settings app and the App Store.
• Ensure your devices are always charged and connected to Wi-Fi before pairing them. Pairing and updates need good battery life and a stable internet connection.
• Regularly back up your iPhone and Apple Watch to iCloud or your Mac/PC. This way, you can quickly restore your data and settings if you need to reset your devices.
• Stay informed about compatibility requirements for your Apple devices. New software updates and product releases may affect your ability to pair an older Apple Watch with a newer iPhone or vice versa.

Hopefully, you’ll only have to deal with this issue once every few years, but any time lost to get these two awesome gadgets working together is time you could have spent enjoying them instead.
