Apple Watch rebooting won’t update

Hi my Apple Watch keeps resetting. It says it needs updating BUT when I start to update it, it reboots so I can’t update it. Any ideas?

Check the level of charge in the battery, and recharge if necessary. Low battery is the most frequent cause for unexpected startup problems. If the watch is getting further through the process be aware multiple reboots are not uncommon as the software installs, and some of them can take almost for ever to complete.


If the problem doesn't clear after several hours, contact Apple Support for advice and troubleshooting.
