Card does not add to apple watch.

Hello guys.

So today i got a really good deal and i upgraded my SE to a Series 7.

iOS automatically made 1:1 to my new watch as the old was, but it didnt add the card that was in the SE wallet.

Now when i try to add the card (on the phone Watch app or on the watch itself its the same) i see the terms and conditions not as text, but as a bunch of <?> symbols and when i click agree it says "Card Not Added" after a brief loading.

Its active both on my iPhone and the SE, but wont go on the S7... anyone know why this happens?

It sounds like something is corrupted on the Series 7 watch. The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.

At this point, your best option may be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store near you and let them look at it. If that is not possible, use the online Apple Support option. Either way:
