I'm sorry, but it is not possible to connect an Apple Watch to an iPhone without an Apple ID. An Apple ID is essential for setting up and using any Apple device, including the Apple Watch. It serves as your unique identifier and is used to sign in to iCloud, App Store, and other Apple services.

When you set up your Apple Watch for the first time, you will be prompted to enter your Apple ID credentials. If you don't have an Apple ID, you will need to create one during the setup process.

If you are concerned about privacy or security, you can use a new or separate Apple ID solely for your Apple Watch, but having an Apple ID is a requirement to use the full functionality of Apple devices and services.

Well this is the scenario.

My husband was using an iPhone and had signed in using his apple id. I needed to use his phone so i took it and deleted the apple id on it and set up my own on the iPhone. Since then whenever i try signing in with his apple id it says not valid or supported..

The reason i need to recover his apple id is because it was connected to an apple watch which now can't be accessed without that original apple id used to configure it.

Someone please help me with unlocking the watch or recovering the apple id which is
