Apple Watch not connecting to server
I’m trying to pair a new Apple Watch and it ask me for my Apple ID password. When I enter it, it tells me I can’t connect to the server. Help?

Good Evening Pumkin1972,
We see that you're looking to pair your new Apple Watch, and we understand how exciting this can be so we'd be glad to help with what you're experiencing.
Are you seeing that the Apple ID is being requested to pair the Apple Watch to the iPhone or is this showing through the set up process for your Apple Watch?
To confirm, is this a new Apple Watch or was it purchased secondhand?
If you're seeing that this is appearing throughout the set up of your Apple Watch on your iPhone, we'd recommend trying a different Wi-Fi network to see if this resolves what you're seeing. If that doesn't clear up the message, let's restart both your iPhone and Apple Watch then try this again. For assistance with restarting your devices, check out these resources:

We look forward to seeing this helps with what you're experiencing so you can start enjoying your new Apple Watch.
Have a great night!
