Verify power
The Watch Link USB should remain connected to power at all times. Be aware that not all USB ports on workout equipment are powered. If it is plugged directly into your equipment, try plugging it into a wall charging block instead. Your USB also needs to remain within Bluetooth range of your equipment (within 30 ft).
Force quit and re-launch the watch app
If you are seeing a 'Reconnecting' or 'Pod not Found' screen on your watch, force quit the app.
- Tap the side (flat) button on your Apple watch (below the crown dial). This will show a list of apps currently running on your watch.
