New Watch won't show up in Samsung Find

[Jtretakoff]

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?

Paying for a service, is what are you saying?!?!?

Did you verify on watch the following:Settings》 Allow use of location, and Permissions, both ENABLE.

@CharlieTierrax Yes.

Give a try. Let me know.

@CharlieTierrax You have it installed on your phone or on your watch? I have it installed on my phone, and my phone will find my watch. But Google Play is telling me it is not available to install on my watch. And when I try "Add device" on my phone and scan the QR code on the watch, it tells me the watch is an unsupported device.

I got a subscription to Google's Find My Device. The $10 was for an annual subscription. But it looks like that may be needed only for "professional" features, whatever those are. So I canceled the subscription and will see whether it still works after that.

I installed from the Samsung Store. When installed on my smartphone...S24 Ultra...it replicates on the smartwatch...Samsung Watch Ultra. As I was trying to fix an issue with the smartwatch backup, I performed a reset and reinstall my smartwatch from a backup. WCS: reset your smartwatch and try again. Keep in mind that make by Man, will fail when most needed.

@CharlieTierrax Unfortunately, I already reset the phone, and it didn't help.

phone: Open  Smart things go to life/ find (update if you need)  

Watch: go to Smart things sync

Phone: Smart things/ life/ press on the watch.   

now you can use Smart-things or wearable

  watch: open Samsung find, agree, accept location.

I had a similar issue, I couldn't find my galaxy fe watch neither in Samsung Find nor in Find My Mobile, so I contacted Samsung they said switch off and on both devices (phone & watch) could help, or if it doesn't uninstall and reinstall Wearable app on phone, none worked for me but reset (factory reset) my watch did. 😊 Now Find My Watch works for me, not just Find my Phone.
