Apple Watch Storage and Update

Within the last 6 months I got the Series 3 Apple Watch. Soon after I was prompted for an update where I did not at the time have enough space. I deleted every app, as well as all the music and photos I could. I still wasn’t able to update so I reset my watch to factory settings and it automatically updated at that point.

Now I am stuck in the same situation. There has been another update prompting me daily. I need 2.7 gigs and even after deleting everything I could, the max space I have available is 1.9 gigs. Surely I am doing something wrong because I don’t believe I would need to reset my watch every time an update comes out. Could someone let me know what I am doing wrong or give any advice? Thank you! I attached a photo of my usage below.

Unpair your Apple Watch via the Watch app on your iPhone.

Then Re-pair your Apple Watch again,this usually frees up

enough storage space to update your watch.And without any loss of data.

Or this;
