I went to check for a Apple Watch OS and it says not connected to Internet. I am definetly connected via Internet on my iPhone 6 so I am lost at what to try. I have done the following
1. Switched the iPhone and Watch into Airplane mode then back on
2. Rebooted the watch and the iPhone
Not sure what to do next, any ideas would be welcome.
Had this problem with my Apple watch 4. Trying to pair to my iphone12. Don't think phone or watch series made a difference. DIL came to help. We tried all these suggestions. No telling what state everything else was in at the time but when she changed the setting on the watch and phone the Afghanistan/English the update finally started downloading, however it would not install to the watch until the phone was updated to the most recent IOS which at this time is 15.1. Meanwhile I was updating my iphone12 to 15.1. When that was finished she simply attempted to pair and it immediately started the update. Appears it was important to be sure you have the most recent IOS installed.
I got through this with the help of apple support!
All I did was: Press and hold the crown and side button at the same time until the screen turns black, release both and wait until the apple logo appears then press and hold the side button until "Erase All Content and Settings" pops up and press this. Allow to erase then delete the apple watch app on your phone and reinstall. IT THEN PAIRED and UPDATED!! YAY!
Same here. I just bought a used Apple Watch, and simply couldn't get passed the no internet issue... Tried a few different phones, a few different tips from here, but nothing worked.
I have an iPhone SE2 and a couple of iPhone 7. So I decided to try on my friends iPhone 11 and it worked. God knows why.
So, my suggestion is to try on different phones. For now, I am updating the watch. Hopefully after that I can unpair from her phone and pair it back on mine.
Good luck to us all!
so i’ve been trying to set up my watch from ‘new to me’. couldn’t set wifi on watch because i couldn’t start up the watch without updating software. couldn’t update software bc of no internet notice. i first checked my phone settings for my ios and turns out it hadn’t updated since 14.8.2 since my iphone data on my phone was too full, needed 4 gb empty. once i deleted 4 fb of whatsapp photo downloads, i was able to update phone ios to 15.2. once that was updated, i was able to get to the software upload screen for my watch past the ‘no internet’ notice and am currently installing.
I tried every single thing on this thread. It finally worked when I:
1- put my WiFi on regular, not 5g
2- rebooted my router
3- plugged my phone directly into the USB port on the router
Not sure which one of these things did the trick. But I would start with making sure the wifi is not on 5g.
I turned off my iPhone and then choose update on the watch and it worked.
It’s been a while since this post but I solved my issue with the watch not wanting to update and error message saying “not connected to internet.” I clicked on settings and entered my ICloud, I erased all of the watch data and deleted the app. I reinstalled it and it instantly started to work with my Apple Watch Series 3. My watch was factory reset so I couldn’t do anything on the watch, only on the iPhone.
Check it out! Hope this helps!

Add a Commentive been trying to pair my watch for 4 months and I won’t work. It says the WiFi is not connected when it is and has 4 bars. I don’t know how to fix it and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
Make sure you’re not on 5g and reboot your router.
Purchased the Apple Watch 5 in Nov of 21 for a Christmas present, it was an open box, unused device. It took over a week of trial and error including the hard resets and app removals, etc. I had success just today. My network had a 2.4 Ghz and a 5Ghz network; for the last week i have had the phone on the 2.4Ghz band.
Just today I connected the Iphone to the 5Ghz network, then started the pairing process once again. Note the apple watch never appeared on my 2.4 Ghz network when my phone was connected to the 2.4 Ghz.At this point the Router network recognized the Apple watch.I assigned it to a home device and rename it within my network.Next I had to list it as a wearable device. This allowed the router network to open communication to the Apple Watch and begin to accept the updates.It appeared for a while that the updates stalled, but after almost half an hour the Iphone said it had another update, then another. It finally finished updating to OS 8.3 and restarted. Now going through the final set-up phase. Hope this helps.
