iPhone keeps wanting to 'set up' already set up & paired Apple Watch!

In the last couple of days, since I updated my iPhone 15 Pro to iOS 17.5 and my Watch ULTRA updated to WatchOS 10.5, my iPhone keeps asking me to 'set up my Apple Watch' - I only have one, this ULTRA, it's already set up, connected to BT and is syncing fine with my phone! I've restarted both my Apple Watch & my iPhone and it makes no difference. What's going on? A bug, surely? Any ideas?

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

Same here. Keeps asking me to setup my already setup Apple Watch 6. Very annoying.

I am having the same issue my iwatch is connected to my IPhone 14 Pro Max and that is fine but keeps wanting me to set up on Iphone14 Max (work phone). After researching they had the same issue years ago with a software release. This is so annoying.

I also see this screen, but I don’t even have an Apple Watch. And this screen appears all the time, quite annoying. It started with iOS 17.5.
