Hi,


Restart your iPhone > https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201559


And restart your Watch > Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support


Then check the time.


If it's still a problem, un pair then re par the iPhone and Apple Watch.


Instructions here >> Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone



Also, make sure your iPhone is up to date. Tap Settings > General > Software Update



and for the Watch, on the iPhone tap the Watch app User uploaded file then tap Software Update.


If on the iPhone you see: Can't connect to the Apple Watch, you will need to enter the passcode.

On your iPhone tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings


No data or media will be deleted but settings will be restored to factory default.

It can take a few minutes for the reset process. When it's done tap Settings > General > Date & Time then make sure: Set Automatically is toggled ON.

A reset will not un pair your Apple Watch. Use it like you normally do.

" I tried restoring the watch to an old backup with the previous watch os and the problem persists"

If resetting does not help, there may be something in that backup that is causing a conflict. At this point you may need to restore the iPhone to factory settings > Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings

If you do this you will have to re "pair' the Apple Watch > Set up your Apple Watch
