My watch wont pair with phone

My apple watch series 3 will not pair with my iphone 12 pro. Every time I try to pair it, it will say the watch needs to be updated, but when I try to update it, it said there was some error about internet connection, even though I can verify it was connected to the internet.

I took it to the apple store, the lady sent it into the apple fixing center, and they called us and said to pay 150$ for a logic board replacement. However, this should just be a software fix...

Well you have a bit of a dilemma!

It’s likely a corrupt flash within the SIP unit. They can’t go deeper hence they think a new board will fix this.

There are a few shops which specialize in Apple Watches, maybe they can access the watch via DFU mode via the hidden port to re-flash the chip with a clean image.

For some reason the Apple repair depot won’t do this.
