My iphone keep asking me to set up an Apple Watch

New iPhone 16 Pro Max. iPhone keeps asking me to set up an apple watch.

I do not have an apple watch, never had one, no one ever set one up with my phone. My phone is brand new begin a 16 Pro Max.

Was over one hour with your customer services chat help and after two lines interruption I scheduled an appointment at the Apple Store.

At the Apple Store, was told it is normal and as I live in a high rise building either my neighbor upstairs or downstairs could be the issue.

Now that I am back home, i realized that:

1. It does not happen with the other iPhone I have, 14 Max..... and
2. In the past 2 weeks I was in a cruise ship in the middle of the Atlantic and it was also happening to my 16 only.

This is a bug. Sometimes I can get this msg 30-40 times per day. So annoying. Get no help from Apple.

Will schedule another appointment and take both iPhones to the attendant.

Cant believe this is true.
