Yes, you can update your Apple Watch without a Wi-Fi connection, but you will need to have your iPhone nearby and connected to the internet. To update your Apple Watch without Wi-Fi, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that your iPhone is connected to the internet via cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
  2. Connect your Apple Watch to its charger and ensure that it has at least 50% battery life.
  3. On your iPhone, open the Watch app and select the "My Watch" tab.
  4. Tap on "General" and then select "Software Update."
  5. If an update is available, tap "Download and Install."
  6. Follow the prompts to complete the update process.

It's important to note that updates for the Apple Watch can be quite large and may take some time to download and install. You may also want to ensure that you have a strong cellular connection or Wi-Fi connection to avoid any interruptions during the update process.
