Hi Everyone, After speaking with the Tier2 rep, there is an issue with the pairing with iPhone and Watch. The only option to resolve is a complete wipe and restore But Not from normal iTunes or iCloud backup.
> If you do not have iCloud storage purchase the 50Gb for [.99] one month.
>On iCloud settings make sure photos, contacts, messages, health, wallet, key chain are enabled.
a)Make sure you're connected to power and on WiFi
1:Create a list of all your apps
2:Make sure the key chain is updated with all your app information [username, email, pw] or 3rd party app like 1 password.
3:As for music If you have an iMAC or iPad and you share across devices your music will be restored.
4:Once complete go to iCloud backup and backup now. This will push all data. when finished.
Wipe data from iPhone and Apple Watch
1:Apple watch settings erase all content and settings but keep the cellular plan.
2:iPhone erase all content and settings.
Restore iPhone
1:Setup iPhone as new [manual] Do not restore from recent iCloud backup.
2:Once you re-add your account from iCloud all data photos, contacts, messages, health, wallet, the key chain will get pushed back down. estimate 1.2 hrs
3:Go into Wallet and re-add cards and go back through the verification process.
4:Re-add Apple watch manually not from backup.
5:Apple watch setup wallet app and re-add cards.
6:Reinstall all iOS apps.
>I did these steps on iOS 14.3 & Watch 7.2 and now the Apple watch wallet app works as expected, I have my QR Star bucks, Panera, dave n buster loaded back. I'm now finished update to iOS 14.4 and watch 7.3 working as expected.
-My only left-over issue was re-doing all my custom ring tones, as they're kept in the files app but cant be pushed so had to do those over again.
>Delete any Prior iTunes or iCloud backup and create a newer one to move forward.
Good Luck, All.
