Hello DianeJoe347,
That's a great question and we're glad you were directed here from the related article: If your Apple Watch shows an iPhone and a watch or a red “!”
If you haven't already, you'll want to double-click the side button, then follow the steps shown in the first section of the related article. These are the specific steps to help resolve the red exclamation mark on the display. For reference, those steps are listed below as well.
- "Make sure that an iPhone is nearby. The iPhone needs to have iOS 15.4 or later, it needs to be connected to Wi-Fi* with Bluetooth turned on, and it needs to be unlocked.
- Put your Apple Watch on its charger.
- Double-click the side button (the button below the circular Digital Crown) on your Apple Watch.
- Follow the steps that appear on the iPhone."
Let us know how that goes!
