Watch 6 will not complete connection S22+

[Members_ZRqqIhE]

Tried to connect a new Watch 6 to S22+ one year after purchase.
Connection starts well but stops at around 75% of "Getting ready to connect" the wearable app says on the phone. Watch says "Connection failed" and then it offers to start over again.
Tried reinstalling the Wearable and the Watch 6 manager apps a few times as well as clearing the memory of the apps.
Any clues around?

Hi! Welcome to the Samsung Members community!

I would suggest contacting Smart Tutor for on-device support.

The only solution I've personally had success with, and have seen posted on this forum, is that it eventually works by repeatedly attempting it.

Thank you! I will give Smart Tutor a try and of course more attempts.
