There is a chance that the previous owner updated the watch to OS10 beta - can you ask them?


If they did then either wait til the end of september for iOS17 or install the public beta of iOS17 - we cannot help further with any of that on here.

Watches updated to OS10 beta cannot be retrofitted with OS9 at home.
