Getting continuous pop up Apple Watch Update

I am getting a continuous pop up Apple Watch Update. This appears to be malware. This issue was brought up in a previous Apple forum in 2020, but to be very honest the responses from Apple were not very helpful as they asked whether the Apple Watch had been lost or stolen and the just suggested contacting Apple Support.


This pop up looks like a regular Apple update but gives option of "Dismiss" or "Update". When you hit "Dismiss" the pop up occurs 15-45 seconds later and will not go away.

If you're connected to wifi and there is an update available for your watch you will be nagged at regular intervals until you attempt the update,this might be what you're seeing.
