Galaxy Watch

I am having issues setting up my galaxy watch. It goes through all of the usual set-up stuff, and then links up with my Google acc on my phone. After that, it comes to this screen, and regardless of what I put in, it won't let me past. There is no skip option. It tells me that my acc is already on the device. This is incredibly frustrating.

Can you share a picture of the screen it gets stuck in ? That would be helpful.

Try going into your Google acct. Settings, security, your devices, manage all devices and remove the watch if its there.

You didn't buy this used, did you? I'm wondering if the previous owner didn't clear their Google credentials.. I'm not sure that factory reset protection applies to Android watches, but I'm sure it does.

I am trying to set up my Samsung Galaxy watch FE but every time I get to the screen asking me to sign in via Google it says 'This account already exists on this device' and won't let me go any further?
