Let's start from the beginning.
Please, open the Apple Watch app on your husband's phone.

Customer Replay

ok and it says could not connect to apple watch

Okay. In this case, you need to pair Apple Watch.

Customer Replay

ok

Put the Apple Watch on your wrist. Adjust the band or choose a band size so your Apple Watch fits closely but comfortably on your wrist.

Customer Replay

ok

Turn on the Apple Watch, press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.

Customer Replay

it is trying to talk to me in text

Bring your iPhone near your Apple Watch, wait for the Apple Watch pairing screen to appear on your iPhone, then tap Continue.
Or open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, then tap Pair New Watch.

Customer Replay

it says ***** apple watch paired

Great!
Now open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, then tap the My Watch tab.

Customer Replay

do you think the need to update has something to do with

No, no. Just open the Apple Watch app on iPhone and tap My Watch tab.

Customer Replay

ok it is asking if it is paired with another phone?

Click "Not" if so.

Customer Replay

no and it is saying to tap on to icon on watch and view name in list below, I see no devices listed
it does not give me that option.

Okay.
Can you tap the icon on the watch?

Customer Replay

sorry I had an interruption

That's okay.

Customer Replay

it still saying unable to connect how do I update maybe that is keeping it from doing it

Please, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and then press and hold the side button on Apple Watch until you see the Apple logo.

Customer Replay

ok

Thank you.

Customer Replay

I can't do this. can you make me an appointment with the ***** to go in person???

Unfortunately, I can't do that.

Customer Replay

Ok thank you for your help..You helped me at least learn where things are but I will need to have a face to face human being. thank you

Is there anything else I can do for you today?

Customer Replay

no I appreciate your time

Thank you for reaching out. Please let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be happy to clarify them for you!
