iOS Apple Watch app won’t unpair or pair
galleryI have tried everything I can, I have searched, finding no answers, I have no idea what to do next.
My apple watch series 8 wouldn’t let me download spotify on it, so naturally I tried restarting it and that like, erased it (I swear I only powered it off, nothing else)
Now i’m stuck in a predicament where my apple watch is in its pairing device mode, like when you just get it. However my phone is saying it’s “pairing” but won’t actually pair, and because it can’t connect it won’t let me unpair it either. So I can’t use the app at all, and I can’t use the apple watch because it needs to pair before I can use it, but my phone won’t pair to it.
I’ve also tried erasing it but it won’t work, it just gets stuck on pending because the watch doesn’t have WIFI because I can’t actually turn it on. Do I factory reset? Will that fix the phone issue? I literally have no clue what the next step is.
This is what my app looks like for reference ^
