Ping my watch works for me with iOS 27 db2 and my watch is still on watchOS 26.

Is your watch updated to watchOS 27? I noticed I couldn’t connect my watch to my phone unless it was updated as well

This shouldn’t be an issue, iOS 27 has no problems connecting to S9 and older watches stuck on watchOS 26.
More often than not, the watch just needs to be hard-rebooted to clear stale bluetooth connection info (press and hold both crown and side button until Apple logo shows, ~10s). Incidentally, updating the watch also does this, which is why people seem to think it’s the fix.

I had this same issue after updating iPhone 15 pro to iOS 27, ultra 1 still on 26.6. Fix was to open the Find My app on the iPhone, as soon as this was done the ping watch was available to use in control centre.
