Make sure you are on the very latest iOS16 version


It is possible that this Watch had been updated to OS10 beta. Can you check with the previous owner to ask if that was the case.


If true then you have no option but to wait until iOS17 comes out, or install the Public Beta which will be coming out fairly soon
