Unable to pair Apple Watch Series 7 with the iPhone 7 plus

When you try to pair your phone and watch, a notification appears stating "Pair not created. The iPhone has failed to maintain a wireless connection. Perhaps there is not reliable or the device should be placed closer to the WLAN router. Try to re-establish the connection and try again."

When trying to manually pair the Watch app writes, "Connect. Before setting up the Apple Watch, make sure your iPhone is connected to the WLAN or cellular network and has Bluetooth turned on.

That being said, all functions on the phone are enabled and the third-party watch will connect to the phone with no problem. The watch was just purchased and was not previously associated with any phone.

Thank you for your replies!
