Cannot connect to my phone

[Diederik]

Keeps running. Does not connect. It says wait a minute then says 'something went wrong'. I've tried on both WiFi and LTE 3G. Nothing works. Downloaded Android Wear and updated ALL my Google and Sony apps

I'm just going to return my phone and watch to the shop. I'm over it

Are you on about connecting to your phone? or using Google now/OK Google

I cannot connect my Smartwatch to my phone Z3. I have downloaded the Android Wear application. I've tried to connect for...going 5 hours now. I've tried most things on the Internet too. It shows its connecting via my phone, then says 'wait a minute'. Then it says, 'something went wrong, try again' i click yes and it does nothing. The message stays. Atswipe for tips' etc point it shows a menu that I can scroll through saying it's not connecting to the Internet 'swipe. I've checked that. Everything is fine there. I've Enabled all the apps. I've re-installed them so many times now . Ive reset the watch... I don't know any more. I've even tried to update the programme via my pc on Sony PC companion. It's keeps saying I can't install the driver.

I'm assuming you are setting it up for the first time. Try doing a reset of the phone (Power button and up key - no data lost) and also of the SW3. remove any paired SW3 from the Bluetooth devices menu on the phone. Ensure the phone has a good internet connection, and that the SW3 has a reasonable level of charge. Make sure the phone is not on the lock screen, and connect the two devices by contact (NFC - is on top of SW3, and your phone manual will say where that is on the Z3. That should initiate a new pairing of the devices, and follow those instructions. After pairing, the SW3 will update over the internet using the phone, so this will take a while (and will take forever if you have a slow phone internet connection). 

let us know how you go on

I have the same problem.

My devices: Xperia Z3 Dual & Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact WiFi vs SmartWatch 3 SWR50

No matter what I do I can't pair/connect my tablet & phone with SmartWatch.

The only thing that happens is a continuous attempt to connect without any success.

All software is up to date.

But, my old Nexus 7 connects to watch easily.

Finally managed to connect using NFC. Took 4 tries as I had to leave the watch (removed from the strap) on top of the back of the phone where the nfc icon is. What a story to get that done for a watch that is nice, but there could have been so much more. Also, it drains battery life on your phone (Z3) here quicker. I bought the Z3 for the battery life and now the watch with careful selections of brightness etc, needs changing daily at 7-13 hours
