When I first set this up, it was working, but when I go to find my device, it says no location found, so this must be for my old watch that I deactivated a few days ago. I need to add this new Apple Series 9 watch now, and need to know how to do this manually. I paired it when it was set up, but that is no longer working.
iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17
It is very unusual for a device to go missing from the Find My app, unless somebody made a mistake! Check which watch is really connected.
On the new watch, (short) press the Digital Crown to reveal all the apps, go to
Settings (grey cog wheel) / Tap your name (the top entry in the list) then check your Apple ID sign-in
Look in Apps again, look for a green icon with outline computer screen and iPhone (Find Devices) and scroll down the list, check what you can see connected and findable.
I suggest taking a look at Apple's comments in these support documents (written for different purpose but it might help you check).

Worst case, if you really can't find your Series 9 anywhere in Find My, you might have to unpair and re-pair to setup again.
It was as easy as restarting the Apple Watch......so sorry to waste people's time. I get a new watch every series, and how things are done seem to be always changing. GRRRRRRRR. Appreciate your time for your reply.
I actually under find my watch, activated the sound, and my watch responded. Easy to tell it was the right watch. Thanks!
Another easy check,
Check in Settings/General/About, make sure the serial number matches the new watch box (make sure you didn't get the wrong watch!)
The magical power of the reboot. Pleased to hear the problem is resolved.
