Title: Apple Watch Series 11 repeatedly asks for Apple Account verification (watchOS 27.2)
Since mid-October 2026, my Apple Watch Series 11 (watchOS 27.2) has been intermittently asking me to verify my Apple Account — the watch face lights up with the request, and there's an "Update Apple Account Settings" message in the Watch's Settings. The "Update Apple Account Settings" message persists in Settings even between prompts — it's there right now, while the watch is otherwise quiet.
The pattern so far: Oct 16 (evening), Oct 22 (~1:38am), Oct 23 (morning), Oct 24 (~11:50am), Oct 27 (morning), Oct 29 (~5:15am). Most occurrences are in the early morning hours, and the timing is inconsistent — sometimes days go quietly between prompts.
It never spreads to my iPhone or iPad — both stay signed in and work fine. Each time I've dismissed the prompt without entering my password, and everything keeps working normally.
I'm deliberately not entering my credentials each time, since the request is inconsistent and my other devices are unaffected — I don't want to risk triggering a lockout over what looks like a watch-side session glitch.
Is anyone else seeing repeated Apple Account verification prompts on their watch, especially in the early morning? Trying to tell whether this is a wider watchOS issue or specific to my setup.
