Hi Abcwikki,


It appears your Apple Watch says it needs to finish the set up process before you can continue using it. We'll do our best to assist with this.


What happens exactly when you attempt to open the Watch app on your paired iPhone? Does it prompt you to complete more of the set up process? If not, have you tried to unpair and repair the Apple Watch?


If possible, try backing up your Apple Watch: Back up your Apple Watch You may be unable to complete this, due to the error, but it's worth mentioning before you proceed.


Follow section, "How to unpair your Apple Watch from your iPhone" here, but not the part on erasing it: Unpair and erase your Apple Watch Then try to pair it again and restore the backup, if possible: Set up your Apple Watch


Should the issue continue, then we'd recommend to Contact Apple Support


Hoping this helps you out, take care!

Please continue to setup on iPhone
