I got the notification that "Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iMessage and FaceTime on a new Apple Watch. If you recently signed in to " ' myname' Apple Watch" you can ignore this notification. I haven't used this watch or charged it in a year. The name is correct for my watch. I remove it from my devices. Should I be concerned that my ID is compromised?

Yes, you should.
Check your device list to see if there is a device signed in that you don't recognize. You can remove the device using the steps in the article below. As a precaution, change your password.

Thank you. I changed my pw for peace of mind. After which my hubby told me he had charged my watch up last week..... probably what triggered the message!
You are welcome.
