Does anyone know why the Fordpass app is not showing up on my Apple watch?
When I look at available apps to install On my watch from my Iphone the Fordpass is not listed?
My watch is a series 2, so maybe its to old?

I have an SE and it shows up. What is the OS version on your watch?

I’m at OS version 9.4.

I have V 6.3 which is the latest for a series 2 watch. So that is probably why it will not work.
Funny I can not find anything on the internet stating what series or version of Apple watch will work with Fordpass. I just loaded Plugshare on my phone a few weeks ago and it shows on my watch?
My wife was just commenting this morning I should get a new Apple watch since mine is all cracked and scratch. I can't believe she would say that, so now I have an excuse and WAF (Wife acceptance factor) to get a new watch!

I have an Apple Watch Ultra (Series 8), and a FordPass "widget" shows up on my Apple Watch. The only options that I see are just Unlock, Start, and Lock. A FORD logo takes up most of the space on the watch face! :rolleyes: . But the options provided work well. They require the watch to be in communication with your iPhone (haven't tested whether the watch can work through Wi-Fi and cellular as well as Bluetooth).

In the App Store, open the app description. Scroll all the way down to Information at the bottom. Under the Compatibility listing, you see that it requires WatchOS 8.0 or later. Other devices FordPass is compatible with are the iPhone and the iPod (interesting the iPad is not listed). For those, iOS 15.0 or later is required.

Thanks, I see it now.
I kept looking at the app description from the web site instead of the app store from my Iphone.

I have Ford Pass on my iPhone and iPad too. I don’t use the PaaK on iPad but it worked when I tried it. I don’t use FP on Apple Watch since functionality I want is on phone.
