Apple Watch ID Verification

I recently purchased a Apple Watch SE and while trying to download apps, it prompts me to “go to settings and verify your Apple ID”. So I enter my password and after clicking “OK”, it leads me back to the settings page. I go back to the App Store to try to download the app once again, and it asks me the same question. I can download apps from my phone and it goes to the Apple Watch if there is a Apple Watch version of it, but I cannot download apps from the Apple watch itself.

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 8

Hello maalika97,

Let's try signing into your Apple ID account by signing in here: Apple ID to see if it gives an error message.

If it doesn't give an error, then let's complete the steps below that are also listed here: Download apps on your Apple Watch - Apple Support to resolve the issue.

Get apps from the App Store on your Apple Watch

1. Press the Digital Crown to see the Home screen, then tap the App Store.

2. Tap Search to find apps using Scribble or Dictation or scroll down to discover featured apps and curated app collections.

3. Tap an app to see its description, ratings and reviews, screenshots, release notes, and more.

4. Tap the price or tap Get.

5. When prompted, double-click the side button under the Digital Crown to download and install the app.

In the App Store, if an app has a Get button instead of a price, the app is free. You won't be charged for downloading a free app. Some free apps offer in-app purchases and subscriptions that you can buy. Subscriptions and in-app purchases give you access to more features, content, and more. Learn more about in-app purchases and subscriptions.

Best regards
