If you see "Unable to install update" when trying to update Apple Watch Series 1 or Series 2 - Apple Support


FWIW, a lot of people have problems updating a series 3 watch due to insufficient memory. In some cases, unpairing the watch, completely erasing it, then pairing and restoring the backup will resolve the issue after an update. (Simply unpairing and pairing again may not work.)
