Hi Jan, I agree that it seems silly that Apple asks us periodically to sign into the Apple Watch when the iPhone is nearby and should theoretically serve as verification. However, they do what they do. When you have your phone close to your watch and you were asked to sign in, check your iPhone screen or perhaps in the notification center and see if an option comes up to use the on screen keyboard on your phone to complete this process. That is what I ultimately ended up doing to get past it. It's similar to using the iPhone on screen keyboard to fill in edit field on an Apple TV. Hope this helps.
