"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 Apple ID used currently.

Turn Automatic App Install back on if necessary.
