Many users face the problem of the Apple Watch not connecting to the iPhone, which leads to them not being able to fully use the watch’s features.
To solve this problem, it is recommended to follow these steps to connect your devices:

- Restart the devices, by pressing and holding the side lock button on the iPhone and the volume up buttons and then swiping the power button to turn off the phone, and restart the phone, keep pressing the side button until the Apple logo appears.
As for turning off the Apple Watch, just press and hold the side button and pass the power off button, and to turn it back on again just press and hold the side button. - Reset (Reset) the Apple Watch after backing up your data, because resetting deletes all the data saved in the watch.
To do this, go to the General section of the watch’s Settings, tap Reset, and tap Erase All Content and Settings. - Disconnect the connection between the two devices, and reconnect them, and you can do this through the Apple Watch application on the iPhone, click on All Watches, press the information button next to the Apple Watch that you want to disconnect, then press the Unpair Apple option Watch).
