My Apple Watch keeps failing to update

Hi,

Could you specify the error message you are receiving each time you attempt to update your Apple Watch?

• Identify your Apple Watch
• Learn more, service, and support

Prior to attempting to update watchOS, make sure you have completed the following:

• paired iPhone is running latest iOS.
• watch battery percentage is at least 50%.
• watch is on its charger/connected to power for the entire process.
• both watch and iPhone remain close to each other throughout the entire process, and iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi.

Are you attempting to complete the pairing process and an update is required, but fails?

Try to pair your watch manually to your iPhone instead.

This is done by clicking Start Pairing on the Watch app > Pair Manually at the bottom of the screen > tap the “i” icon on your watch > tap on your Apple Watch listed on the Watch app (example: it should appear as Apple Watch 12345) > you will see a six digit verification code displayed on your watch, enter this code on the Watch app on your iPhone > Start Update

• If you can't pair an Apple Watch with your iPhone
• Update Apple Watch software
• Update your Apple Watch

Is your watch currently paired, but you are unable to update watchOS via the Watch app on iOS, and on the Settings of your watch?

• If you see "Unable to install update" when trying to update Apple Watch Series 1 or Series 2
• If you see 'Unable to Verify Update' when updating Apple Watch
• If you don’t have enough space to update your Apple Watch

Hope this helps.
