Pairing with watch impossible after update

Similar situation here. Upgraded watch 1st gen and 6s to the first betas. The watch is visible and enabled on the iPhone's bluetooth. The watch unlocks my MacBookPro without glitches. However when using the iPhone app, it can't do anything with the watch. It will say the watch is offline. Changing faces won't do anything.

Now I was about to reset the device, and probably won't do it anymore, if it makes the watch broken.

My friends, try several times ... the same happened to me and after not finding the solution on the internet I kept trying ... the last time I did it with the code press in the I. And it works ...

Same exact issue as the original poster. I have found no solution.

Looks like when the initial paired set are upgraded the issues are minor.

However, if you downgrade the phone and later upgrde it back to iOS 11 and attempt a pairing of the watch you will get a failed to pair code. I have found no solution or workaround including a hard reset of the watch. You also cannot reset the watch and pair with a non-iOS 11 phone (says not on latest software).

I hav tried downgrading both and pairing and that doesn't work either, the phone cannot be downgraded and iOS 10.3.3 cannot pair with the WatchOS 4

Go on your iPhone and sign out of iMessage. Was having same problem and this fixed it for me. Still took ~4 minutes to get past that Apple ID screen but it did work. If this still doesn't work try signing out of iCloud altogether.

I've tried this but with no luck unfortunately. Has anyone else had the same issue or have any other suggestions?

Hi All,

if you're hitting this, we'd love to get more information to investigate further. Please use Bug Reporter to file a report and please include a sysdiagnose taken from your iPhone after reproducing the failed pairing session.

Thanks!
