This may take upwards of half an hour depending on how much data is on your Apple Watch so make sure you make the time and have adequate charge on your Watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll see an Apple logo with a ring around it on your Apple Watch, indicating that it is unpairing from your iPhone. You may see this screen several times as the Watch is unpairing. To confirm that the Apple Watch is completely unpaired, you\u2019ll see a Welcome to Apple Watch screen on the Watch itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once unpaired, go to your new iPhone, head into the Apple Watch app, and tap Start Pairing. If you\u2019re on iOS 11, a card will automatically appear on your iPhone\u2019s screen requesting to pair. Simply tap continue to start pairing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll be prompted to hover your iPhone over your Apple Watch with a visual QR code displayed on the Watch\u2019s screen. You\u2019ll then be asked to setup your Apple Watch as new or from backup, choose restore from backup and select your most recent Apple Watch backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, follow the on-screen steps on your iPhone. This includes enabling Siri, Apple Pay, and entering in your optional passcode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you\u2019ll see the Apple logo on your Apple Watch with a ring around it. You\u2019ll have to wait until the ring is filled and then Apple Watch setup is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it may seem like a lot, unparing your Apple Watch is fairly easily once you\u2019ve done it a few times.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gtech-end-cont gtech-entity-placement\" id=\"gtech-3630086146\"><div id=\"gtech-1410676008\" style=\"margin-right: auto;margin-left: auto;text-align: center;\"><a data-bid=\"1\" data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/linkout\/17207\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"notrack\" aria-label=\"26001\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/media\/2023\/01\/26001.jpeg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/media\/2023\/01\/26001.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gtechbooster.com\/media\/2023\/01\/26001-768x960.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" width=\"500\" height=\"625\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you just got your Apple Watch or you just completed an update to the latest iOS version and want to pair your devices.
