Just got a new Watch 6. I have another 6, as well as an old Galaxy Watch (love those bezels!). In the Wearable App, I can see both 6's; great. When I go to the new 6 and click Find my Watch, it brings me to the new Samsung Find app, which shows all my other watches... But not the new 6. How can I register the new 6 with Find?

They are not listed so I can't select them. There's clearly a bug here. My Galaxy Watch ultras and the galaxy buds used to show up before and they dissappeared recently. Everything was setup and working fine until I got my new S25 Ultra a month ago and setup my devices on the new phone. Some devices are showing and some are not altough they showed up briefly and dissappeared. The devices are registed to my account. They are also added to the Members app. The galaxy watch ultras show up on Google Find but not Galaxy find

And as I typed this reply now my phone is no longer registered in Samsung Find an I get an error that my device has not finished registering and force closes on me. All i did today was factory reset my og galaxy watch and re added to my phone. Seems like that caused this issue with my phone no longer being registered with Find and i see no option to "register" my phone on Find. I already tried clearing all data on Find and rebooted the phone. No luck

So, the update finally hit my A54 yesterday.  Today I was fiddling around with some apps and I wanted to make sure the find app was still working properly.  I opened the Find app and instead of the map showing an image of all my devices, it only showed my two phones (one of which is off).  It usually shows my watch as well, all situated in the same place (home).  My Watch 7 is not even listed in my devices, not even the ones I've hidden because I no longer use them. The watch is properly paired to the phone and registered in my Samsung account. The day before everything was there and showing properly.  When I opened the Google Find Hub, my watch 7 and two phones were showing properly.  

 

When I went into the location app on the watch, it was showing as on, but when I tapped to show all my devices, it gave me a message that the "watch has not finished registering with the phone, try again later", then it went on to show me all my other devices, even the dormant ones.  The watch, as I said is properly paired and showing in my Samsung account.  It also shows up in nearby device scanning.  The watch shows as a connected device in Smart Things, but does not show up in Smart Things Find, which is very odd, since when I tap the device in Smart Things and the find option comes up, it briefly finds the watch and then it vanishes.  I don't understand what the disconnect is here.  I don't use the find app often - I really only open it to check that it's functioning, in case I do really ever need to use it; but I do know it was working as recently as last week.

 

I really don't want to unpair and re-pair my watch, since it's functioning just fine otherwise.  I'll use the Google Find Hub if I need it.  I just wonder if a) why this is happening and b) if there's an easy fix for it that does not involve disconnecting and reconnecting or removing the device from my Samsung account and then adding it back.  I did restart the watch and clear the watch cache, as well as following all the after update protocols for the phone.

Did you try opening the wear app and using find my watch?

It should then open the find my app. Tap the 3 dots and see what devices are there.

It doesn't find it. It uses the same engine as the find app.  Only Google Find Hub sees it.  Really weird, since the Wear app knows I have the watch, it's properly set up in the watch manager and IT WORKED YESTERDAY.  What do you suppose would happen if I cleared the data from the Find app?

Just reset the data. No joy.  Still showing only my current phone and the two obsolete watches.  It's really weird.  Accessing the location on the watch it says the watch has not completed registering to my Samsung account yet, but not only is it listed as a registered device in my Samsung account, it says what date and time it was registered.  I don't know if logging the watch out and then back in will help, but I guess I should just be happy that it can be found with Google.  I put in an error report, because this just isn't right.  I even tried to register the watch again and it would not let me.
