Apple Watch issue with logging into Apple ID

My Apple Watch is requiring my Apple ID. It won't allow me to enter this on my iPhone. When I use the Scribble feature on Apple Watch, it won't let me write a capital letter, even when I use the dome to try to change it. How do I log into Apple Watch with my Apple ID?

When scribble makes mistakes like giving you a letter 'o' when you wanted a zero or a lowercase 's' when you wanted an uppercase 'S' try this:


  1. Tap the letter you don't want. A green outline should appear around it.
  2. Roll the crown. A list of alternative letters should appear.
  3. Roll to the letter you want and stop on it.
  4. In a moment, the letter you selected should automatically overwrite the mistake.


If you have wrist detection enabled, it helps to disable it while you're doing this.


Have patience. It isn't easy entering a long password this way. I wasn't lucky enough to have any helpful prompts pop up on my phone.


Hope this helps.
