Share This:

Are you having trouble pairing your Apple Watch to your iPhone? If so, you’re not alone. Many users have encountered the dreaded “Please Continue Setup on iPhone” message while trying to pair their watch. Fortunately, there is a simple solution.

The first step is to make sure that both of your devices are in close proximity and that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are turned on. If either of these elements is off, the connection process won’t be successful. You can quickly check this on your iPhone by opening the Control Center.

Once you have confirmed that all settings are correct, it’s time to begin the actual pairing process. Start by bringing your iPhone near your Apple Watch and wait for the Apple Watch pairing screen to apear on your phone. Tap “Continue” when it does. Alternatively, you can open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and tap “Pair New Watch” to initiate the setup process. When prompted, position your iPhone so that it appears in the viewfinder in the Apple Watch app and hold it close to your device until you see the message “Use Your iPhone To Set Up This Apple Watch” appear on your screen. Tap “Continue” when it does.

If you don’t see this message after seveal attempts, open the Apple Watch app again and select “All Watches > Add a Watch > Set Up For Myself” instead. This will restart the setup procedure from scratch and should do the trick!

If none of tese methods work, try pressing down both buttons simultaneously (the crown and side button) until you exit out of this menu completely before attempting to pair again from scratch.

With these steps in mind, you should be able to successfully pair your Apple watch with ease!
