Hello alfez34,


Be sure to try restarting both the iPhone and the Apple Watch:

Restart your iPhone

Restart your Apple Watch


Also ensure that the iPhone being used has its iOS version fully updated: Update your iPhone or iPad


Update your iPhone or iPad wirelessly
1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.
The Settings app on iPhone showing options to update to iOS 15.7 or iOS 16.
5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.


Also ensure the iPhone being used has its date, time and time zone all set accurately: Change the date and time on iPhone


Cheers.
