Family member Apple watch keeps asking for primary apple id password

My wifes apple watch keeps asking for the password to our primary apple id. The watch is set up as a family member with its own apple id and password, so as i understand should not need the primary apple id. This has only recently started happening but was fine when I first set it for family sharing.

Hello cavin33,


We would like to see how we can help you with your Apple Watch. Was this Apple Watch previously used or signed into with the primary Apple ID at some point? If so, those apps would need to Apple ID of the person who originally downloaded it to the device to update those apps. If not, reach out to Apple directly for further assistance at: Apple Support


Cheers!
