I use 2 different appleID's

The first is my iCloud account and is used for iMessage etc etc

The second is on another email and is my primary purchasing account iTunes etc


When I setup my watch it first asked me to sign into the account for iMessage, it had already defaulted the user name with my iCloud username so I just entered the password.

Next it asked me to sign into the account I used for things like purchases and apple pay and it said this is the account my watch would be registered to. But it wouldn't let me change the username and that was also defaulted to my iCloud account. So at the time I just skipped this step.

Now when I go to the companion app and goto the apple id section it still has the iCloud account user defaulted and won't let me change it.

Does anyone know a way around this? all my apple products are registered against my non iCloud appleID along with all my iTunes purchases.
