Apple Pay is not working on my Apple Watch On my new iPhone 16, Apple Pay works fine. My series 6 watch seems to work fine with it except for Apple Pay. My iPhone 12 and series 6 Watch worked fine with Apple Pay WatchOS 11.1 My new iPhone works with Apple Pay, no problems My watch shows the cards that are on the iPhone I've forced re-start on both several times I've tried over several days with different vendors The watch makes a little "dinck" sound. When I give up, the iPhone works. I'm flummoxed. I can't think of what to try next. Any ideas?

Cannot add Apple Pay cards to Watch I have a new iPhone 15 Pro Max and a new Apple Watch (model A982 Version 10.1 (21S67) but when I try and add my Apple Pay cards to my watch via the Watch App on my phone, I just get "Could Not Set Up Apple Pay - An error occurred while setting up Apple Pay". I get this with both payment cards, and a different error when I try to add my BMW key when I get "Cannot Add Car Key - there was a problem adding this BMW key to Wallet". All of this worked fine on my iPhone 12 and my previous Apple Watch. All software is up to date.
