What kind of bluetooth pairing mode does apple watch support?

Hello,


I'm developing a watch app to communiate with ble accessory, set the pairing mode to passkey as implemented on iOS, but there is no passkey text field appeared, instead a dialog with pairing/cancel button appeared, the pairing is failed after pairing button pressed.

Is text field component not supported in watchOS caused this? Are all pairing mode defined in bluetooth Core Spec supported in watchOS? If not, what types of pairing mode are supported?

We have confirmed that the apple watch only have the IO capability DisplayOnly, which only support the pairing mode of justwork.

it does recuire bluetooth but if you turn bluetooth on standby it is still connected on IOS11+
