In the last week when my alarm goes off and I switch it off on my watch, the greeting on my watch says Good morning but uses my husband’s name, not mine. He has never owned an Apple Watch and is definitely not paired with mine so why is this happening?
Apple Watch Series 6, 10
UPDATE: for some reason ‘My card’ under Contacts had stored as my husband’s name and contact details even though I was logged in using my Apple ID. I have changed it and everything shows my name against my Apple ID instead of his. This has never been the case before, and the only thing we have done differently is both connected to our car. Very strange for this to happen when neither of us have ever signed into each other’s devices and I was clearly signed in with my Apple ID, with his name assigned to it. The other thing I had done was made him my legacy contact so I took that off. All very odd but resolved now, I hope.

i found that when I opened Contacts at the top it said My Card and for some reason that had my husband’s details on it. When I changed that everything else changed. I have no idea why my phone thought his details were mine, but I did recently make him my legacy contact and emergency contact. I have removed him as my legacy contact for now and removed then put him back on as my emergency one. I hope this helps.
Are you sharing an Apple ID, or did you do that in the past?
Did you set up the Apple Watch,using your Apple ID?
Check your husband's Bluetooth settings. (Go to Settings > Bluetooth) If your watch is on his list, swipe and forget it. I had something similar happen to me once.
Even stranger, in Family Sharing my Apple ID says me but the name has been changed to my husband’s. Neither of us have done this, we have had our own Apple IDs for years. It is most irregular! On his settings for Family sharing he has my name, correctly as it should be.
It’s only ever been my Id and it’s always greeted me using my name until recently. Plus things like exercise tracking syncs with my iPhone from my watch so definitely my ID.
Thanks, that was the first thing we did. He’s never paired his phone with my watch and it definitely wasn’t on his Bluetooth devices list.
This morning my I-watch said, “Good Morning, Bruce”. I’m not Bruce, although my husband is. He doesn’t have an I-watch and I have no intention of giving him mine. Please help.
noI am not sharing my Apple ID with anyone. He doesn’t even have an apple watch or any apple products.
Apple Watch greeting thinks I’m my husband
