Thanks Limnos, make it simple, I just use another Apple ID that already has 2 factor authentication to pair with my watch. Go through all info that also may not work or look for a real people in store will be better 🤣

i’m in US, the appleID used to work with my Apple Watch soon after I bought a new iPhone 16 pro, it wasn’t able to pair the the watch, it said needs to have two factor authentication but it’s not available for this Apple ID. Of course able to connect internet. My device is not for workplace or school, it’s personal use.
