I have 2 Apple IDs, and the one on my watch is not the same as on my phone, so nothing on my phone is syncing to the watch.
Watch Standard 38mm, iOS 8.3
I spent over an hour on the phone with apple and, while not ideal, we figured out the solution.
My two Apple ID's each serve a specific function. One is for iMessaging, iTunes and App Store purchases and the other is for iCloud Storage.
When the watch pairs with the phone it automatically picks up the apple ID being used for iCloud on the phone. Since this was not the account I wanted to use I had to sign out of that account and sign in to icloud using the other id.
Then I had to un-pair and re-pair the watch. At this point during set-up it will show the "correct" apple id in the prompts and allow everything to synch as desired. Once everything was done, I went back into the phone settings and reconnected it to the other apple id and EVERYTHING is working just fine.
This was a time consuming process but worth it in the long run. Now everything is working as desired.
Just to avoid confusion, it's Apple Watch app, General, Apple ID
Thanks for the clarification
The other problem is I want to use Apple Pay and the credit cards I use for my purchase Apple ID I use have to be added to the 2nd account. 😟
Excellent it appears to have worked for me … many thanks! (same problem id1 for payment then mobileme came along ,…)
How do I change the Apple ID on my watch?
