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?

I posted about this same issue about a week ago.  I am glad it is not just a "me" problem (not glad for you, though).  I submitted an error report and they say they are evaluating and working on a fix (believe that when I get it).  In the meantime, if you really need to use the find function, use the Google Find Hub (should already be installed on your phone) or go to your Google account and go the find tab.  And, put in an error report as well, so that they know it is affecting other users.  Frankly, that is my only glitch with the update.

Some relief too, I'm not alone 😊. Just reported.

I've been having the same issue with the watch. My phone reports but not my watch. I have the ultra watch.

My watch use t9 show up on the map in Samsung find along with my ring and phone. Now it doesn't, and for no apparent reason. My watch still shows up in Google find app. Anyone else experience this?

@Bigbambu1and everyone else having this issue.  I received a response to my error report on this, and the response was basically "disconnect your watch from the Wear app and reconnect it so it can be re-registered."  Eventually, I may do that, I just don't want to do it yet. Since I am content to use Google Find, if something goes missing. I'm not in any hurry to borrow trouble by disconnecting the watch.  Although it should go smoothly, I've heard of people disconnecting and not being able to reconnect to the app, but that may have had more to do with whatever their original issue was in the first place.  So, my suggestion would be, if you are willing, to do what Samsung suggests and disconnect and reconnect the watch.  My understanding is that this will not require the watch to be reset.

I'm having this issue too. When trying to use Samsung Find, watch says your watch hasn't finished registering to your Samsung account. Try again later. It is registered. I removed it from my account and re-registered but still doesn't work. Hope Samsung fixes this soon.

I had this problem as well. Reset of watch didn't help.

However what helped me in the end was to connect the watch to a Samsung S22 Ultra instead of my pixel and the watch showed up in Find without the error message on the watch it self.

While I did a reset of the watch when moving it from my Pixel 8 Pro, I'm not sure the reset was needed.

This only underlines that Samsung has really crippled the watch from other Android phones then the Galaxy lineup. The same problem occured when trying to add eSIM through the wearable app on the Pixel: Didn't work. However worked straight away on the S22 Ultra.

I'm using it with a S24 Ultra and still having this issue so it has nothing to do with using it with a non-Samsung phone. Wish Samsung would at least provide and explanation for this problem

This is an issue that is happening to many people since the update.  The watch no longer shows up in Samsung find, but does show up in Google find.  I don't care which, as long as I am able to find it.  After my error report and log submission, Samsung suggested I unpair my watch from the Wear app and re-pair it, which I am not willing to do, since this shouldn't have happened in the first place.  Please put in an error report, as the more people who report the issue through the error reporting/log submission channel, the more likely it is to be addressed in a future update.
