How to change Apple ID on watch

when I go to download an app on the Apple Watch it asks for my mothers id(I used with an old phone but have a new phone with a new number and new Apple ID) but when I check my ID in my iPhone it has my id and not my mothers. How do I change the ID on my watch so I can download apps(having same issue with my iPad as well). It even asks for my moms Apple ID password when I update apps on my watch, iPad and iPhone

 A request for another Apple ID password is often caused by updates to apps/purchases that were made when using the other ID. Those purchases are tied to the other ID and can't be transferred. One option is to delete the apps/purchases made by the other ID and download them using the new ID if desired. After deleting the apps, it may be necessary to restart the device/computer before you can download the apps again. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID.

Or you can try to set up Family Sharing  between the IDs to keep access to your purchases.
