Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My recent iPhone has a new email account. But I am trying to pair my new watch and it keeps bringing the email address from an old iPhone that never worked with that email anyway and even though I change it for some reason it keeps defaulting back.
Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 8
Try unpairing, erasing, and pairing your watch again and restoring from the backup just created in the unpairing process. This deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system. This should result in no loss of data and in some cases can free a lot of storage.

Sorry I don’t fully understand. I have unpaired the watch about 3 times, I have even deleted the watch app as someone suggested it may be an old app. It let me go so far, and allows me to log into my new email. Then it defaults back to an old email. Sorry I’m not very technical.
