Problems getting Apple watch pared and setup with my new iphone 8. Before calling Apple Accessibility, I wanted to see if anyone has any ideas that could help me.
Have an original Apple Watch that came out in September 2015 running watch OS 3.23 that I had pared to my iphone 6 running ios 11.1.2. I did not upgrade my Apple watch to watch OS 4 because everybody said that it slowed there watch down so much that it was almost unusable. But I had no problems running the latest version of ios 11 with my watch running twatch OS 3.23. I upgraded to an iphone 8, and that is where the problem started. I went through the paring process and I was told that my watch was pared with my iPhone 8 without a problem. Now it was time to setup my watch again. I could restore from a prior backup or set up as a new watch. I have tried both ways with the same results. After about 20 to 30 minutes, maybe longer, not sure, I get a pop up message that says, process has timed out because of activities taking place. I have tried this 3 to 4 times, all with the same results. My watch automatically goes back to the beginning of the paring and setup screen, where you choose the default language. I do not know if my watch is getting hung up installing watch OS 4 or what, but right now, my watch is totally unusable since I can not get it setup, and again, I have tried setting it up from a prior backup and also as a new device with the same device. Is there a reset for the watch that is equivalent to holding down the home button and the power button for 10 seconds? Does anyone have any ideas of anything that I could try to get my watch up and running again? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
