Apple Pay on Apple watch

I am trying to add my Apple Card to my Apple Watch so I can use my watch to pay with Apple Pay.

My Apple Card is already in my Wallet on my iPhone.

But when I try to add the card onto my wallet on my iwatch it states " Could not connect to Apple Pay - Apple Pay is temporarily unavailable"

It has been saying this for two days now.

Can someone help?

Apple Watch Series 2, watchOS 6
