Hello! Thank you for reaching out, have you tried wiping the cache partition of your device?

1.    Turn off the device.
2.    Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby/Power key.
3.    When the Android logo displays, release the keys.
4.    An ‘Installing system update’ message may show for 30 – 60 seconds before the Android system recovery menu options appear.
5.    Press the Volume down key several times to highlight wipe cache partition.
6.    Press Power key to select.
7.    Press the Volume down key to highlight yes, them and press the Power key to select.
8.    When the wipe cache partition is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted.
9.    Press the Power key to restart the device.

Let me know if this helped!

Geek squad tried that with my S20 plus and it didn't work.

Same here... can't setup the watch with the S20+ at all!

It's not the watch as I can pair with another phone after hard reset.

Same issue here. Geek squad and Sprint tech support can't fix it. Samsung, we need a fix!

Has anyone found a solution for this? I'm having the same problem with the Active 2 and an S20 Ultra.

The moment I finished posting this, after trying to pair my devices for an hour, it started working.
