Unable to pair Apple Watch Series 3 with my Iphone 13 pro max, it start unpairing

My cousin recently handed over his Apple Watch Series 3 to my and it was unpaired device. So to pair with my device, first i erased all contents from Watch settings within the watch. Then when i started trying to pair with phone but that's when the problem accrued where after scanning the watch display it loads for some time then it automatically stars Unpairing Apple Watch. I don't understand what is happening here, I've tried every method that i've found, i reset the watch, force restarted my phone, reset my network settings, even tried to pair it with my Iphone SE 1st gen, nothing worked.


I really want a solution here, if any of you are kind enough to help me out here i would really appreciate it,


Note: Both my devices run Latest IOS updates

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 18

Please try this steps to see if the issues persist



If it seems like the pairing process has stalled — for example, the pairing animation remains on the screen for several minutes — resetting your Apple Watch might help:

  1. Press and hold the Digital Crown while your Apple Watch is in pairing mode.
  2. Tap Reset when it appears on your watch.
  3. After your watch resets, you can pair again."
