I tried to use my iPhone to find my Apple Watch, but it doesn’t appear among my devices in Find My. I can get the map location by starting in the Watch utility, but that is not helpful because it just shows my address. I need to get the watch to chirp so I can find it.

Hi jnklz,
We'd like to assist. While we're not entirely sure what you're seeing regarding the Watch utility that you mentioned, we do have some information to share about Find My. If you don't see your Apple Watch as a device there, it might not have had Find My turned on before it went missing. However, this guidance is worth reviewing If your device is lost or stolen:
"If you can't find your Apple Watch
If you didn't turn on Find My before your Apple Watch was lost or stolen and your watch isn't connected to Wi-Fi, cellular, or your paired iPhone, you can't use it to find your device. However, you can use these steps to help protect your information:
Find My is the only way that you can track or locate a lost or missing device. If Find My isn't enabled on your watch before it goes missing, there is no other Apple service that can find, track, or otherwise flag your device for you."
We hope this helps. Take care.
Thanks, but not helpful because it says my paired Apple Watch shows up automatically in Find My as long as I set up Find My. But I did set it up and the watch is properly paired, but it doesn’t show up in my list of devices. So is my watch defective, is it my new iPhone that’s not working? I was able to find my watch without assistance, but it would be really nice to have things working for once.
Find My can’t find my computer either. Location services is turned on, it’s hooked up to WiFi. (It isn’t lost, I’m just trying to get SOMETHING to work.)
How do I get my Apple Watch to show up in Find My?
