Watch Ultra 2 not connecting

[midwood]

Hi, have had an Ultra 2 for a couple of days. It initially connected with my phone, put a fair bit of data in but now if I go to the watch app it is trying to make me hook up again and it won't. No other options apart from new phone or reconnect to old phone, neither work. No way I can wipe the watch and start again, the blue tooth won't see it either.

Any thoughts please?

Hello @midwood ,

Welcome to the community,

What error do you get?

You may well have to remove it from your phone and start again. Not sure why this has happened.

Hi

Thanks for the welcome

The only error I get is that it cannot find my watch whatever I use, new or existing. It is not showing in Bluetooth either. Yet I did pair it on Monday without a problem and it has now stopped. Everything on the watch is working but not fro the phone. I cannot remove it from the phone as I have not any control off the app, just the pairing information. I have removed it from Find my phone but still won’t unpair.

Cheers

Hi @midwood. 

Thanks for getting back to us. 

Did you purchase your watch direct from EE?

Hi Katie

Yes, which is why I thought I would use the EE forum.

Thanks for confirming @midwood. 

Does your phone pick up other Bluetooth connections OK?

Do you have your phone and watch close to each other when trying to pair?

Hi Katie

Very good question, I’ve only had the phone since Monday and haven’t tried to connect anything else and now I have it won’t. Just tried my earbuds and a desktop Mac, neither are found.

What does mean please?

Many thanks
John

Thanks for checking, that's really helpful and rules out a problem with the watch @midwood. 

If you go into your phone settings is Bluetooth switched on? 

What phone are you using?

Katie

Hi Katie

It’s an iPhone 15 Pro Max and it is switched on.
