How do I get it to show its name/Identify itself on my internal network?

How do I get the Apple Watch to identify itself on my list of internal network devices. It's showing up as unknown device. I don't like seeing unknown devices on my network.

Apple Watch Series 7

I saw your question a few days ago but I didn't have an answer for you and apparently, neither does anybody else.

There are too many differences between ISP's and equipment.

For my internet equipment, I named my watch, my wife's watch, and all our other devices using the app that my ISP provides.

This might be a good reason to call your ISP to see if they can help you out. It might be hard for them to know how if you are using 3rd party equipment.
