Unknown apple ID requests

I have an iPhone X and an iWatch (Series 3). Both purchased new and only ever attached to my appleID. My phone is not jailbroken. I have started getting requests to enter passwords for two other apple ID's I dont recognise. I have no apps recently purchased, none that wont update. I have reset both the phone and the watch with no change. If I dont use the watch, I dont get the sign in requests. I have seen other posts that this seems to be an iwatch OS issue. At present my watch is frustratingly unusable. Does anyone know any other work arounds or fixes.

Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6

Ok maybe some light ahead. In a fit of frustration I reset my watch, powered it off and threw it in a corner. Feeling slightly guilty I powered it back on a few hours later. now been about fourteen hours and no requests for sign in.

Watch has updated to 6.1.2, within four hours I had both random accounts looking to sign in. This is getting ridiculous.

Mine became worse, 3 requests per email per cycle. So I have a total of 21 password requests around 3-4minutes at time. And this was only 2 requests per email per cycle prior to the software update! Ridiculous! Apple's quality has really gone down the drain in recent years!

Hopefully, you dont experience what I did. I actually unpaired my watch from my iPhone 11 Pro, then paired it to my iPhone 7+, then unpaired it again from the iPhone 7+before finally pairing it with my iphone 11 Pro and still got the requests 3x per cycle per email. I have a video to prove as well. Hope you will have your issue sorted out soon. Mine? In my opinion is useless, like Apple!
