Q: I cannot add my card to my Apple Watch

I restored my iPhone system and repair it with my Apple watch. However, when I tried to add my debit card to my watch, it didn't work and it showed "Could Not Add Card: Try again later or contact your card issuer for more information". What should I do? Please HELP!!!! BTW, My watchOS is 2.2.2 and I cannot find it out in the product list.

Apple Watch, watchOS 2.2.1

    Restart your iPhone and Apple Watch then try adding your debit card.

     

    Then follow the instructions in this support article >  Set up Apple Pay on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch - Apple Support

     

     

    Restart iPhone:

    1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    2. Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    3. After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

     

     

    Restart Apple Watch:

     

    1. Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
    2. Drag the slider to turn off your device.
    3. After your watch turns off, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo.

    Hi

     

    It may help to follow these steps on your iPhone (note that you will also need to add back any other cards that you may already have added back to Apple Pay on your iPhone and/or watch):

     

    • Go to: Settings > iCloud - at the bottom of the screen, Sign out.
    • Go to: Settings > Touch ID & Passcode - Turn Passcode off.
    • Restart your iPhone.
    • Sign back in to iCloud, turn Passcode back on and try again to add your card.

     

    When adding the card, follow the steps here:

    Set up Apple Pay on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch - Apple Support
