Unknown Apple ID sign in prompt

I have a series 4 Apple Watch and I keep getting Apple ID sign in prompts for an unknown ID; hunfan853@163.com

it popped up 10+ times this morning repeatedly.

I got the watch brand new.

this has been happening the last few months randomly and it’s extremely annoying!

help!

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 6

Try this;

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.
