Can't pair Apple Watch Series 6 to iPhone 8

Hey there!

I'm trying to pair a new Apple Watch Series 6 to my iPhone 8, but it doesn't work.

Steps to reproduce the problem are:

Open the Apple Watch App on your iPhone with iOS 16.4 installed
Start the pairing process, scan the Apple Watch
See that the Apple Watch App informs you that there is a watchOS update available and that you can't continue the setup without updating
Tap on "Update now"
Get the error "Connection failed" and notice that you are stuck in a loop

Any tips or ideas what I could do to fix that? I already restarted both the Apple Watch as well as the iPhone, which also has the latest iOS update installed. Also, I uninstalled and reinstalled the Apple Watch app.

Okay, I‘ve found the fix. Neither restarting the watch nor your iPhone will help, but only completely turning Bluetooth off and on in the iOS settings will solve this issue.

Okay, ich habe die Lösung gefunden. Weder ein Neustart der Apple Watch noch des iPhoned werden helfen, nur Bluetooth in den iOS-Einstellungen komplett aus- und dann wieder einzuschalten wird helfen.
