Passcode greyed out on watch series 8

I have my watch series 8 synced with Iphone 13 and I am not able to set any passcode on the watch. The passcode is greyed out. However, during the initial setup I entered the passcode and enable the same but then post setup its greyed out. I have switched off the screen time, wrist detection and what not still not working also tried resetting.

Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 10

Try turning off passcode then turn it back on


from your iPhone>Watch>Passcode>Turn Passcode Off

The back close down the app, reboot your watch then reverse it.


When you turn off the passcode, you will most likely loose any credit/debit cards you have in your wallet and it will turn off Apple pay on your watch. You will need to add it all back if you use it.
