Apple Watch keeps prompting to "Sign in to complete purchase" Over the past couple days I have been getting many prompts on my Apple Watch asking me to "Sign in to Complete Purchase" and it has two buttons, one to enter a password and one to Cancel. This shows up every few hours over the day, which is pretty annoying. I keep canceling, but to no avail. I have no notifications on my iPhone that is paired to this watch, it only comes to the watch. I have no purchases that need to be completed, so I'm unsure why I keep receiving this message, and why I can't tell what is prompting this message. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to stop this? Of course I don't want to enter my password for a prompt that I didn't initiate. Thanks!

"Sign in to complete purchase" message on Apple Watch I get the above message, which asks me to enter my Apple ID password to "complete the purchase" when I have NOT purchased anything. The message is persistent and when I select "cancel" it returns again and again. It's very inconvenient and now very annoying. Can someone please help? Thanks

Open your Apple Watch app on your phone and go to “My Watch”

Go to Settings/General & turn off Automatic App Install.

Now go back to “My Watch” and scroll to the bottom to see “Available Apps”.

Any apps you see that are trying to install are the culprits causing the notifications!

Delete those apps from your phone, and if necessary reinstall them with your current Apple ID.

Turn Automatic App Install back on if necessary.
