My Apple Watch is still connected to old Apple ID that was my moms and when I have to download apps or update my watch wants the old Apple ids code

How can I get rid of this problem?

i think I caused it myself because when I switched Apple id’s I didn’t reset my Apple Watch or phone and that’s why it was still connected. I have tried to reset my Apple Watch multiple times but it wouldn’t help with the problem:/

do I have to reset my phone too and maybe that will help?

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 8

You need to reset the phone and pair the watch with the phone.

See if anything here helps.

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.
