Hi Thickenese,


We understand that you're seeing a message to continue setting up your Apple Watch on your iPhone, and we'd like to help.


Just to confirm, did that message appear after attempting to reset your Apple Watch, or did it appear randomly? If it occurred after trying to reset your Apple Watch, did you use these steps to reset it? Unpair and erase your Apple Watch


Are you seeing any additional messages or prompts to set up your Apple Watch on your iPhone?


If that message appeared on your Apple Watch after attempting to pair your devices, the steps and information here may help: If your Apple Watch isn't connected or paired with your iPhone


Thanks!
