"Sign in to Complete Purchase" message after updating to Apple Watch OS 6.0

Today when I got the message, I typed in the wrong password and it didn’t ask me any more after that. Now I’ll see what happens tomorrow when I put my watch back on!

Waterside guy is brilliant. It was somewhat complicated for me to get rid of the apps, but it worked and I no longer have that obnoxious message on my watch.

strangely, I find it imposible to disable automatic updates on the watch app on the iPhone. I slide the toggle, exit, and when I go back to the app store item on the app, the toggle is again on automatic updates... well done apple!

Hi, I'm getting this message a few times per day… aaaaaaaagh!

I checked what you suggested and under General (in Watch app) --> Software Update I dont have unabled automatic updates and still getting this message.

Should I look elsewhere to disable this automatic update and where ca I see this failed updates?

Many thanks for your help.

I keep getting sign in to complete purchase also. And my watch keeps losing connection with my Bose earbuds. Did the update to iPhone 13 and update on Apple Watch yesterday and these are my biggest annoying problems

It won’t stop and keep sending the same message over and over, I tried so many things to make it stop but i just cant and it really is annoying. I stoped my notification till I find a solution to this.

please help

Yes, I'm having the same issue. My apple watch started to display the 'Sign In to Complete Purchase' notice right after I upgraded to 13.1 on my phone. What I noticed was that the apple Id that it is asking me to sign into is my wife's apple ID. We used to share one ID to make our purchases, so I do have some old stuff that I bought using her account. Need some help here, Apple support.

Thanks

This fix worked for me, I was getting numerous alerts throughout the day, normally in batches of 4 alerts and then it would go quiet for a time and then repeat the Sign in to complete message again in a batch of 4, it was becoming very annoying but the solution above seems to have resolved the issue, well so far so good!

I used the fix suggested by Watersideguy and that worked for me, I was getting the error several times per day in batches of 4 but once I had used the resolution suggested above it fixed my problem. I'm not sure how to help with your passwords problem, I don't have any issues at all with Apple password verification and I do use 2FA and have done for months if not years, I also use multiple devices including iPhone, iPad and Mac's and never have any issues so maybe it might be worth experimenting with 2FA to see if that helps?

Over the last few years, I have had horrible experiences with Apple passwords--no matter how carefully I enter the passwords, the device tells me that it is incorrect. Many times it is three times in a row and then Apple forces me to change the password.

I can't even get into my devices with one password--there is absolutely no way that I will move to 2FA. I'm quite confident I'd be locked out of my devices forever...

On the other hand, if this current "Sign in to Complete Purchase" message continues at the rate it is going now, I will ditch all of my apple products.

Answer to "Sign in to Complete Purchase" for OLD Apple ID did not work?! My Apple Watch Series 4 on WatchOS 6.0.1 still asks for old ID password? Also, the display randomly Zooms in and out.... Very annoying!!
