I can’t set up my Apple Watch to my iPhone 13 mini because it says this watch requires a software update. When I try to install the update to my watch from my iPhone a window pops up and says this update can’t be verified because you aren’t connected to Wi-Fi. What should i do to get my Apple Watch set up?

Firstly, the obvious question is clear; are you connected to WiFi? If you aren't, connect your iPhone to a stable WiFi network and connect your watch via Bluetooth to your iPhone. Place the watch on its charger and try to install the update. If you are already connected to a stable WiFi network, you should ensure that you are using the most recent software (iOS 16.5) on your iPhone, as this often affects what software you can download on your watch. Notwithstanding these issues, you should still be able to set up your Watch on your iPhone regardless of the software. Let me know how you get on following the instructions above.
