Just got my new watch and tried to set it up with an IPhone XR IOS 15.3.1. It stopped when looking for my account. Is there a solution for this problem? I've seen this question before but no actual solution. I am going to try again tomorrow and if I can't get it to work I will return the watch. Thanks Kathleen L Welch

Thanks for the reply but everything worked perfectly the next morning without any trouble.
