I cannot approve to install on my Apple TV using my watch.

Every time it shows in my watch I double click the side button to approve it. Then, it makes this decline sound. I tried using my phone instead and it works. Why won’t it work in my watch?


yes, I’m on the same wifi

yes, it’s all updated and

yes, Bluetooth are on.

You can unlock your Mac or your iPhone with your Apple Watch, not other devices. Even then it doesn’t work for payment services, or App Store.

• Unlock with Apple Watch works only for unlocking your iPhone. It doesn't verify your identity for use with Apple Pay, passwords stored in Keychain, or password-protected apps.

Maybe there is something about it that I am not aware of. Unless someone else chimes in with a good idea, I would suggest to contact an expert from the Apple Support staff for further assistance. Contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/​email/​callback).
