Apple Watch does not appear in Find My app

My watch is paired to my iPhone but does not appear in the Find My app. I found the directions on Apple.com, but the first step is to open settings on my watch and tap my name, but my name does not appear. What should I do to get my watch to show up on Find My?

I ran into this same issue and couldn’t find my “name at the top” but I realized that it was a sign into Apple ID problem. I had to go to the watch app then to General then to Apple ID and sign in. Fixed the problem immediately

Find My was unselectable on my watch, I followed this and other suggestions. But none of these worked and I really didn't want to unpair/repair or erase and restore my phone or my watch. So I went back to the basics to ensure my phone was set correctly. I resolved it when I realized that Find My was not on for my phone therefore also not on my watch. General-Settings-(your name at the top) to get to your Apple ID-Find My then turn it on. Everything else reconnected.
