Apple Watch “set up for myself” button not working for setup.

When I have tryed to set up my Apple Watch for the first time, the “set up for myself button” doesn’t seem to be working. Whenever I press on it it does nothing. How do I fix this?

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 7

Apple Watch not connecting properly to Matrix treadmill The gym I use has Matrix equipment. I have previously successfully paired my watch to the treadmill with no issues. I tried to pair today and it connects, allows the choice of workout (I pick indoor run) but then instead of starting the workout on the watch, it opens up the Fitness app as if to select a workout. The run is going on the treadmill but with no calories shown (as it will usually get this data from the watch). When I start an indoor run on the watch from this state, it starts a separate workout that isn’t matched up to the treadmill. My previous run was early December, perhaps a watch update has caused an issue? I tried two different treadmills so I think either a watch or treadmill software issue.

Apple Watch will not do initial set up I have gone through all the steps but one I try to pair in initial set-up it says that watch software is out of date. I have done all of the resets and everything and nothing will work. Starting to get very frustrated
