Apple Watch doesn't appear on "Find My" app on I-phone

Even though my watch is paired with my iPhone, it doesn't appear on the "find my" screen, like all my other devices do. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 8

Hi Maddane,


It sounds like you need help setting up Find My on your Apple Watch. Is that correct? If so, we recommend that you try the steps here: Set up Find My on all your devices - Apple Support


To perform the recommended troubleshooting steps via the link above, complete the steps in the section titled "Set up your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or Apple Watch."


To set up Find My on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or Apple Watch, sign in to the device with your Apple ID, turn on location sharing, and turn on Find My [device]. You need to set up Find My before the device is lost.
When you set up your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or Apple Watch, Activation Lock is turned on to help protect your device. You can use Find My to see the device’s location on a map, play a sound on the device, turn on Lost Mode, and even erase the device remotely.
For setup instructions, see any of the following:
* iPhone: Add your iPhone to Find My
* iPadAdd your iPad to Find My
* iPod touch: Add your iPod touch to Find My
