Having trouble updating my Apple Watch. I have changed the Apple ID and password but it’s not recognizing it
Having trouble updating my Apple Watch
Apple Watch, watchOS 4
Could it be that the previous activation lock is still on? If you have access to the former Apple ID, can you see the watch on icloud.com and erase it first from there:

If that is not the issue, what do you mean by not recognizing it...?
