Fix Watch ADB Debugging: No connection could be made (10061)
In order to rectify this issue, not only do you have to enable ADB Debugging and Debug over WiFi, but you should also use the Pair new device feature. Here’s how:
- Head over to Settings > About Watch > Software and tap Software Version 7 times.
- Then go to Developer Options and enable the toggle next to ADB Debugging.
- After that, scroll down a little bit and enable the toggle next to Debug over WiFi.
- It will now bring up the IP Address, note it down somewhere [do not include the port number, i.e. values after the colon].
- For example, if the entire value is 192.168.1.3:5555, then your IP will be 192.168.1.3.
- Now go to Wireless Debugging and tap on Pair new device.
- You’ll get a WiFi Pairing Code. Use it in the desired software and your task stands complete.
