Hi... recently upgraded from iPhone 13 Pro Max to iPhone 15 Pro Max. During the setup of the new phone, it asked if I wanted to have my Apple Watch (Series 7) paired to the new phone. I said yes. Since that time. NFC has not worked on the watch. No matter which card, the watch has no kind of reaction to any NFC payment terminals. I have tried removing and re-adding cards... but it is still the same. I am probably going to try resetting the watch completely and setup as new... but wanted to see if anyone else had this issue first.
 
I unpaired and paired again my Series 8 to new iPhone without restoring so I had to set it up from scratch and re-add my cards. No issue with making NFC payments.
