Apple Watch keeps asking password for wrong/other apple ID

My Apple watch keeps asking the password for another apple ID we have.

Even after entering the correct password, the watch keeps asking the password at regular intervals.

This is only so on my apple watch, my iPhone never asks me for the other ID's password.

Anyone any idea what causes this?

You have an app on your Watch that is trying to update and it is tied to your other Apple ID. You need to delete it and get it again using the new Apple ID.

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.
